Stenersen Museum

The Stenersen Museum, also known as Stenersenmuseet, is an art museum located in Oslo, Norway. It was opened in 1994 and is named after Rolf Stenersen, a notable Norwegian art patron. The museum is a significant cultural institution in the city, offering visitors a chance to explore a diverse collection of artworks.

Relocation of the Stenersen Museum

In 2015, the Stenersen Museum was closed, and its collection was merged with that of the Munch Museum. The combined collection is now housed at the Munch Museum's new location in the Bjørvika district, near the harbor. This move has allowed for a more comprehensive display of the artworks and provides a richer experience for visitors.

Exhibitions at the Stenersen Museum

The Stenersen Museum regularly hosted exhibitions featuring works from both national and international artists. In recent years, the museum has showcased works from a diverse range of artists including Georges Adéagbo from Ivory Coast, William Kentridge from South Africa, Gregory Crewdson and Roger Ballen from the USA, Marina Abramović from Yugoslavia, Yoko Ono from the USA, and Wangechi Mutu from Kenya. These exhibitions provide visitors with a broad perspective on global art trends.
