About
Краткие факты: The collection spans Nordic painting and graphic art, from thin watercolours to monumental oil paintings that fill large halls. Generous windows let in light that makes brushstrokes pop, and temporary exhibitions often pair famous names with unusual graphic prints.
Основные моменты: Contemplate Carl Milles' Poseidon, a bronze statue of about 7 metres whose green patina and weight almost lets you smell the sea air on the staircase. Some visitors say that the transition from the open staircase to the silent galleries, where the scent of paper and thick pigment meets strong colours, feels like stepping into another world.
Insider tips
- Arrive when the museum opens on weekdays to avoid crowds around the major works.
- Use the grand steps and Poseidon statue outside for strong photo compositions with Avenyn in the background.
- Wear comfortable shoes, galleries are spread over several floors and up several staircases.
- Check coatroom and bag rules, many temporary shows restrict large bags and tripods.
