Bodø
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!
