Celebrating Norwegian creativity
Discover the spirit of Norway through its artists. Our Norwegian collection captures the imagination of this landscape, from Frans Widerberg’s dreamlike worlds to Ørnulf Opdahl’s elemental light.
You’ll also find vases by Queen Sonja, Audun Hetland’s sharp political caricatures, and Per Kleiva’s striking works inspired by the natural environment. Each piece tells a story and invites you to explore the richness of Norwegian creativity, shaped by the land, its people, and a restless curiosity.
Per Kleiva
A pioneer of Norwegian Pop Art, known for his powerful brushstrokes, dynamic compositions, and a palpable sense of urgency. His paintings are passionate and intellectually charged, inviting viewers to confront the political and human challenges of their time.
Bergen international festival
That creativity comes alive every spring with the Bergen International Festival. The city is filled with music, performance, and celebration – and Rasmussen Samlingene is proud to play a part. By supporting the festival, we help ensure that these experiences are accessible to everyone, connecting artists, audiences, and the wider community.
From the visual art in our galleries to the sounds and performances of the festival, there are countless ways to be inspired, to discover, and to feel part of Norway’s vibrant cultural life.
