The Natural History Museum in Aarhus is situated at the university campus. In spite of the location at the campus, the museum is an independent institution. The museum’s yellow façades and roofs are an integral part of the campus architecture, but in 1941, when the museum was to be erected, the building committee wanted red tiles for the roofs to mark the institution’s independence. At the last minute, C.F. Møller succeeded in convincing the committee and had the entire museum built in yellow tiles, so that the campus would still appear a homogenous whole.
