The Collection

On the ground floor of Haugar Art Museum, highlights from the collection are on view. The works are rotated regularly to give our audience access to different artists, tendencies and themes in the collection.

The exhibition includes works that have been in the museum's collection for a long time, purchases in recent years and deposits from the Savings Bank Foundation DNB. The installation Almanakk (2020-2023) by Siri Aurdal, which was acquired to the collection in 2023, provides a dramatic entry to the exhibition. It stretches through several rooms and forms a unique setting for the other works.

In line with Haugar's profile and the focus of our collection, the presentation consists mainly of contemporary art, with some examples of older works, mainly from the post-war period. Older artworks are not a large part of the collection. Accordingly, the exhibition is not built around art-historical periods but rather emphasizes formal and thematic points of contact between individual works, series of works and oeuvre.
