"Fotogalleriet has come a long way since it was founded by artists Dag Alveng and Tom Sandberg in a basement in 1977. Ever since then, the gallery has had a mission to exhibit local and international photography and to analyze how the medium is changing. As well as playing host to group and solo exhibitions, Fotogalleriet also stages photography book fairs and exhibitions of work from its extensive archive compiled over the past four decades."
