With 140,000 square feet dedicated to its permanent collection, this merger of the country’s major institutions into a significantly larger space will allow not only to showcase never before seen works, such as a selection of newly restored antique plasters, but also to put national prides forward, like a room dedicated to Edvard Munch room, that will show the museum’s most famous work, his 1893 painted version of.
If the years 1100 to 1530 were all about “Serving Faith,” they were followed, the curators argue, by a century of the “Gutenberg Effect,” which lasted until 1630. The groupings in “Serving Faith” especially show just how expansive the museum’s collection truly are.
The museum’s interior design, by Florence-based firm Guicciardini & Magni Architetti, revolves entirely around the public. Every single detail has been thought through in order to make their visit more comfortable. Wall texts do not include academic or esoteric terms, and the art historical focus on movements endings with “-ism” have been avoided as much as possible.
The rest of the exhibition, which fills the top floor, features Norway-based artists and collectives selected by the museum’s curators, such as Borgny Svalastog, Marthe Minde, and Ingunn Utsi all of whom have recently been added to the permanent collection.
