In February 2025, Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum opened a new branch in Bodø – right in the heart of the city, in the historic Sparebank building from 1949 at Storgata 40. With this, we are strengthening our presence in Northern Norway, alongside our established venues in Tromsø and Longyearbyen.

We want to be an inclusive and accessible art museum for everyone, showcasing both historical and contemporary art that engages and inspires.

In addition to the exhibition hall, the museum also has a shop, a café, and a banquet hall used for lectures, artist talks, and workshops. The banquet hall can also be rented for various events.

Come on in – we look forward to welcoming you!

Adelsteen Normann:

Impressionist of the North

On October 4th, we opened the doors to a grand exhibition that breathes new life into one of Northern Norway’s most significant artists! Adelsteen Normann (1848–1918) was a pioneer of Norwegian landscape painting and a vital bridge between the dramatic nature of Northern Norway and the European art audience.

Guided Tour of the Exhibition "Adelsteen Normann: The Impressionist from the North"

Welcome to a guided tour! One of our museum guide will take you on a journey through the rich artistic legacy of the Nordland-born painter Eilert Adelsteen Normann (1848–1918). Normann was one of the first professional artists from Northern Norway and played a key role in bringing the landscapes of Norway to a European audience.

Creative workshop: Draw and play with landscapes

, 14:30 — 16:30

In this workshop, we will explore different ways of drawing fjord and coastal landscapes. We will warm up with drawing exercises that invite humor and playfulness, which we will carry with us when we draw the landscapes.

Yoga at the museum

Join Kristin's signature yoga flow in a truly unique setting. “Yoga at the museum” is suitable for everyone and is a vinyasa-based yoga class with music.

What animals existed in Adelsteen Normann's time?

, 13:00 — 15:00

150 years ago, there were many more domestic and wild animals than there are today, and some breeds have even died out. We don't see many animals in the artist's paintings. Perhaps we can lure some creatures into Adelsteen's paintings using the collage technique? We have lots of magazines you can cut out from, or you can draw yourself.
