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!

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.

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).
