Cloth material exhibit at Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum in Tromso, Norway - 40a

Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum is a Norwegian visual arts museum in Northern Norway. The Northern Norwegian Museum of Art is responsible for the entire northern region and in 2010 established a separate department for the nationwide program. Established as a foundation in 1985, the Northern Norway Art Museum moved to its current location in Tromsø in 2001. The building was originally designed by architect Søren Andreas Wiese-Opsahl in 1917 to house post and telegraph offices. From 1967 the building was commissioned as a police station. Through the years the Northern Norway Art Museum has presented thematic exhibitions on subjects as still life, Norwegian and Russian arts and crafts, Peder Balke and Sámi contemporary art. The museum has also presented solo exhibitions of artists like Marit Følstad, Kjell Varvin and Håkon Fageraas.
