Astrup Fearnley Museet

Book

Explore the international contemporary art scene in a stunning Oslo landmark.

Astrup Fearnley Museet is one of Scandinavia’s most notable museums for contemporary art. Beautifully situated by the fjord, it has become a popular landmark along Oslo’s harbour promenade.

Astrup Fearnley Museet is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary in 2023. To mark this significant milestone the museum presents an extensive exhibition featuring iconic works, hidden treasures and recent acquisitions to the Astrup Fearnley Collection, across the museums two buildings. The selected works represent various time periods and highlight a number of key directions that have come to define the identity of the collection and the museum more broadly. The collection includes significant works by Matthew Barney, Paul Chan, Trisha Donnelly, Félix González-Torres, Nan Goldin, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Glenn Ligon, Bjarne Melgaard, Julie Mehretu and Cindy Sherman.

The museum building is designed by renowned Italian architect Renzo Piano, whose other notable museum buildings include Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris and Whitney Museum of American Art in New York.

In addition to the exhibitions, a visit to the Astrup Fearnley Museum should include a stop at the museum shop, a break at restaurant VentiVenti and a walk outside in the scenic Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park.
