We're open during the summer holidays

With generous help from Sparebankstiftelsen DNB, Kunstnernes Hus can expand its exhibition program with a free summer exhibition that opens in early June, so that the city's residents, visitors and tourists can experience art in one of Norway's most iconic buildings. The exhibition program consists of two solo exhibitions with the Norwegian artists Jana Winderen and Morten Andenæs. The restaurant is also open throughout the summer and a large mediation program accompanies the exhibition, including photo and sound safaris, treasure hunts and children's workshops.

«After the National Museum's and the National Gallery's temporary closure, the number of art institutions people in Oslo can visit has been reduced. We therefore see it as an important task to ensure that innovative and current exhibitions are produced at the house, at the same time as we aim to develop and expand our audience by being open during summer," says director Anne Hilde Neset.

"We are pleased to be able to help Kunstnernes Hus keep its doors open to the public this summer and offer an exciting mediation program for both young and old. Jana Winderen and Morten Andenæs are very relevant artists who deserve a large audience", says Anders Bjørnsen from Sparebankstiftelsen DNB.

The mediation program focuses on a wide audience for families and visitors, and addresses, among other things, the building's architecture. With an address in the heart of Oslo and as the closest neighbour to Slottsparken, the House of Literature and a number of tourist attractions, Kunstnernes Hus will in this way be able to offer a vibrant artistic program throughout the year.
