Exhibitions

In the artwork "Stay away" (2019), a polar bear looks us in the eye and gives us a clear message: You should not be here. This landscape was not created for humans.

Three generations with different connections to Svalbard meet through their different artistic expressions. Can we learn anything from the old photographs?

Nordnorsk Kuntmuseum welcomes you to the new museum department in Bodø/Bådåddjo with the exhibition “Everything is Speaking – Stories in Motion”. The exhibition shows a selection of artworks from the museum’s collection from the 19th century to the present day, by artists with northern Norwegian, Sámi, Norwegian and international backgrounds.

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.
