Protecting art at Aarhus Art Museum with Condair hybrid humidifiers

The ARoS Aarhus Art Museum, redesigned by Schmidt, Hammer & Lassen, features 17,700 m² of modern exhibition space and the iconic “Your Rainbow Panorama” rooftop walkway. Condair hybrid humidifiers ensure optimal indoor humidity, protecting over 1,100 paintings and 400 sculptures.

The ARoS Aarhus Art Museum

Founded in 1859, the ARoS Aarhus Art Museum is one of Denmark’s oldest and most significant cultural institutions. After occupying several different locations over the decades, an architectural competition—supported by Queen Margrethe II—was launched to create a new, modern home for the museum. The Danish architectural firm Schmidt, Hammer & Lassen won the competition with a bold and contemporary design.

The resulting cube-shaped structure measures 52 by 52 metres at its base and rises 42 metres high, offering an impressive 17,700 square metres of exhibition space across nine stories. The museum focuses primarily on modern and contemporary art and houses an extensive collection that spans more than a century.

Its most iconic feature is the famous “Your Rainbow Panorama”, a 52-metre-wide circular rooftop walkway that glows in all colors of the rainbow, making the building instantly recognizable from afar. Inside, Condair hybrid humidifiers ensure stable and comfortable humidity levels, helping to preserve the museum’s valuable collection of more than 1,100 paintings and 400 sculptures and installations.

Condair DL

The Condair DL is the next generation of the Condair Dual2. the world's most successful system for adiabatic humidification. Its hygienic credentials have proven successful in practice and were verified and certified by independent organizations with public responsibility.

Hybrid humidification relies exclusively on the advantages of atomization and evaporation. This results in the sustainable resolution of key problems which can emerge when these technologies are used in isolation. The humidification system is therefore the first choice in terms of hygiene, energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

Columbus Museum of Modern Art, USA

The Columbus Museum of Art needed precise humidity control to protect priceless artworks and ensure visitor comfort. Condair installed its RS steam humidifiers, integrated with the museum™s HVAC system, delivering consistent humidity in the ideal 50¯Â±¯5¯% RH range. The system™s design allows rapid response to seasonal and daily fluctuations, ensuring paintings, sculptures, and historic artifacts are safeguarded against cracking, warping, or other moisture-related damage. Easy to operate and maintain, the RS units provide reliable, energy-efficient performance while blending unobtrusively into the museum™s infrastructure. By maintaining stable indoor humidity, Condair helps preserve the integrity of the collection, supports optimal conditions for visitors, and provides curators with confidence that their environment meets stringent conservation standards.

Amy Storm Residence, Chicago

Interior designer Amy¯Storm undertook a year‘long design/build of her own Chicago‘area home, œShelter for the Storms, and chose Condair™s MN flexible humidification system to tackle the dry winter climate. Presented with the challenge of low indoor humidity that causes discomfort and can damage wood furnishings and artwork, she required a system that could integrate with radiant heating and forced‘air cooling while preserving her design vision. The Condair¯MN system uses a mesh‘nebulizer humidification method without traditional ductwork, providing precise control of indoor humidity in the ideal 40‘60% RH range. The result: a home transformed into a sanctuary of comfort and wellness, where art and books are protected, residents feel better, and trust in the ongoing support was affirmed. The installation was tightly coordinated over a nine‘month construction phase, and the system™s performance and seamless integration exceeded expectations.
