I 1958 blev der udskrevet en arkitektkonkurrence om at tegne et nyt kunstmuseum i Aalborg. Alvar Aalto vandt konkurrencen i samarbejde med sin hustru Elissa Aalto og den danske arkitekt, Jean-Jacques Baruël, som arbejdede på Alvar Aaltos tegnestue på det tidspunkt. I 1963 blev kontrakten med Alvar Aalto underskrevet.
Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg blev opført 1968-1972, og bygget i hvidt marmor med detaljer i redwood- og asketræ, kobber og messing. Det er udført i modernistisk stil i varierede niveauer. Mange forskelligt formede vinduer, både på facade og på taget, giver et unikt lys inde i bygningen.
Også indvendigt er hele gulvet i marmor. Alle lamper er tegnet af Alvar Alto og er af kobber.
Bygningen passer ind i omgivelserne. Den er opført i en gammel grusgrav, og de mange vinduer giver et en flot udsigt til bakke og skov samt den omkringliggende park med kunstværker.
Museets samlede areal er ca. 6000 m2.

In 1963, the contract with Alvar Aalto was signed.
The Art Museum of Modern Art Aalborg was built 1968-1972, and built in white marble with details in redwood and ash wood, copper and brass. It is executed in modernist style in varied levels. Many differently shaped windows, both on the facade and on the roof, provide a unique light inside the building.
Also inside, the entire floor is in marble. All lamps are designed by Alvar Alto and are made of copper.
The building fits into the surroundings. It is built in an old gravel pit, and the many windows give it a nice view of the hill and forest as well as the surrounding park with works of art.
The museum's total area is approx. 6000 m2.
