Experience contemporary art in a stunning, sail-like museum by Renzo Piano, nestled in Oslo's vibrant Tjuvholmen arts district.
"Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo The once seedy Tjuvholmen, or “Thief Island,” is the city’s newest arts district. Its showpiece is the Astrup Fearnley Museum, which reopened last September in an elegant, sail-shaped complex designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano. The open floor plan offers a relaxing environment in which to take in contemporary artwork in galleries featuring both permanent and visiting exhibits. The museum lends contemporary works to the neighboring hotel, the Thief, where guests can view video art on in-room TVs while warming their toes in Norwegian wool slippers. This appeared in the August/September 2013 issue. Image courtesy of Astrup Fearnley Museeet/Nic Lehoux"

"A private museum focusing on contemporary art, Astrup Fearnley Museet has become one of the city’s most important art locations over the past 25 years. Over the past year, Astrup Fearnley has hosted exhibitions from Jeff Koons and London-based duo Gilbert & George, while Takashi Murakami staged his first solo Scandinavian show there in 2017. Additionally, the museum’s permanent collection is always open, and features works from Francis Bacon, Damien Hirst and Anselm Kfiefer."
