About
Kristiansand Art Museum, also known as Sørlandets Kunstmuseum, is a regional art museum in Kristiansand, on Norway's south coast. It is the place to see modern and contemporary art in the Sørlandet region, with work by Norwegian and international artists.
What you will see
The museum holds a permanent collection focused on modern and contemporary works, and it also hosts rotating exhibitions. Because the displays change, a visit can look quite different from one trip to the next, so it is worth checking what is on before you go.
- Permanent collection: modern and contemporary works by Norwegian and international artists.
- Rotating exhibitions: new shows that bring different voices and approaches into the galleries.
Planning your visit
The museum is at Skippergata 23 in the city centre of Kristiansand, so it is easy to combine with a walk around the town. If you would like to confirm opening times or current exhibitions, you can call the museum on +47 38 07 49 00.
A visit suits anyone who enjoys contemporary art, or who wants a calm hour indoors between other plans in the city. Kristiansand's compact centre makes it simple to reach on foot, and the museum pairs well with an afternoon exploring the surrounding streets and waterfront.
