Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum

Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum (NNKM) serves the regions of Troms, Finnmark and Nordland, as well as Svalbard. The museum plays a significant role in Norway, the Nordic, circumpolar and the international art world. Central to the museum is the care, research and activation of a collection of over 2,225 works by artists from the 1600s to the present day. There is a growing presence of Sami daiddars and duojár in our collection. We are committed to social/climate justice and transformation. 

The museum has programming responsibility for the newly established Nordover Kunstsenter and is a key partner in the artist residence Artica Svalbard (Longyearbyen, Svalbard) which makes NNKM exceptional when it comes to operating so close to the North Pole. NNKM already has offices in Bodø and will open NNKM Bodø in 2024. We are also working towards a new museum building in Tromsø in collaboration with the Municipality of Tromsø and the Arctic Philharmonic.

NNKM Values: Open, Relevant, Co-creation
