Visitors still have one last chance to see ‘Late Picasso’ at Aalborg’s Utzon Center, where the exhibition closes on September 6, 2026. The museum’s newsletter says the show has drawn repeated visitor records in recent weeks and describes it as the largest Picasso exhibition in the Nordic region in 40 years. Extra guided tours have been added for the final stretch, with tickets starting at 50 kr.

The announcement comes through a newsletter jointly signed by Kunsten Museum of Modern Art and Utzon Center, both institutions based in Aalborg. In the message, the museum frames the closing date as a final opportunity to experience the exhibition and notes that no further guided tours will be offered beyond this last round. The newsletter also points readers to booking information for the additional tours.

‘Late Picasso’ is presented in the newsletter as a major summer exhibition, and its scale is emphasized by the institution’s claim that it is the biggest Picasso exhibition in the Nordic countries in four decades. The material does not provide further curatorial details about the checklist, loans or organizing partners, but it does make clear that public demand has remained strong enough to prompt extra guided sessions in the final week.

The guided tours are part of the closing programme rather than a separate event. According to the newsletter, they have been arranged because of the level of interest in the exhibition, and tickets are limited. The museum’s wording suggests that the final slots are expected to be especially sought after, with the last tours acting as the main way to access a more structured visit before the show ends.

The event date listed in the available source material is September 6, 2026, at Utzon Center in Aalborg, Denmark. No additional venue dates are given, and the newsletter does not indicate a touring schedule for the exhibition itself. The announcement therefore concerns a single final closing date and a last run of guided tours at that venue.

Alongside the Picasso update, the same newsletter also mentions other programmes connected to Kunsten and Utzon Center, including a summer lounge, theatre, and a new autumn series of talks. Those items are separate from the main exhibition news. The Picasso item stands out in the mailing because it is presented as the end of a high-profile exhibition run, with the museum urging visitors to secure the remaining guided-tour tickets while they are still available.
