Exhibitions

This exhibition looks to the nature of the North through a selection of artworks from the Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum's collection. Common to the artists represented is that they convey nature, but with different perspectives, approaches, and presences.

Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum is delighted to announce Maritea Dæhlin’s first major solo presentation "– A-FI-SA. But it might not be tomorrow" – in Norway and Svalbard.

Høysalen (The high hall) will regularly house new works from the collection and function as a kind of project space, with complicated installations from the collection that mainly highlight female artists in the collection from Sápmi/Northern Norway.

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.

The installation in this room was recently acquired for the Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum's collection and is based on a concept by the artist, Carola Grahn. Titled "Mother, Sun and Ocean, VII and V Years", 2025, it is part of a series of artworks that follow the artist's experience of motherhood and her relationships with her children.

Utstillingen tar utgangspunkt i monsterrepresentasjoner i samlingen til Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum for å se på fremstillingen av det monstrøse, med et spesielt fokus på Nordnorge og Sápmi, fra et skeivt perspektiv
