Kunstnernes Hus is an art institution in the centre of Oslo. Established by artists in 1930 to show both Norwegian and international art, it has since then become the most important independent institution in Norway led by artists, specifically dedicated to contemporary art. Kunstnernes Hus is is owned by the independent, artist-run foundation Stiftelsen Kunstnernes Hus.

The building is an architectonic landmark designed by architects Gudolf Blakstad and Herman Munthe-Kaas, and is one of the foremost examples of the intersection of neoclassicism and functionalism in Norway. With exhibitions, films, talks, concerts, lectures and seminars, Kunstnernes Hus is a major venue for art and culture.

The cinema at Kunstnernes Hus opened in 2016. Its space was designed by architects at Atelier Oslo. It screens a broad spectrum of art films: more recent feature films, genre-challenging documentaries and films made by both Norwegian and international visual artists. The auditorium is a significant part of Kunstnernes Hus’ efforts to create a living arena for artistic interdisciplinary activities, talks and debates.
