Discover the spirit of Norway through its artists. Our Norwegian collection captures the imagination of this landscape, from Frans Widerberg\u2019s dreamlike worlds to \u00d8rnulf Opdahl\u2019s elemental light.<\/p>

You\u2019ll also find vases by Queen Sonja, Audun Hetland\u2019s sharp political caricatures, and Per Kleiva\u2019s 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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
