Paula Rego’s first solo exhibition in Denmark opens at ARoS Aarhus Art Museum in March 2027

Paula Rego’s first solo exhibition (19 March–24 October 2027) will open at ARoS Aarhus Art Museum in Denmark.

For nearly seven decades, Rego challenged authority, patriarchal structures and the roles traditionally assigned to women through her uncompromising visual language. Curated by Jakob Vengberg Sevel, the exhibition considers how Rego reworked fairy tales and folk narratives to examine the exercise of power. Familiar figures such as the princess, the witch and the mother become protagonists in psychological dramas that question the roles women are expected to inhabit.
