Universitetsparken is an open, light and airy park in Aarhus, which is surrounded by Aarhus University's buildings, dormitories and, among other things, the Natural History Museum.

There is no shortage of all kinds of impressions and experiences when you visit Universitetsparken. CF Møller has designed the yellow university buildings, which in the eyes of many are among the world's most beautiful universities.

If you move to the northern part of the park, you will find a gorge where the so-called amphiscene, which dates back to 1949, is hidden. The stage adds an extra dimension to the park and is usually the subject of various informal events at Aarhus University.
