Kistefos Museum
The Kistefos Museum is an amazing museum and not just because of the recently opened The Twist art gallery. I spent nearly five hours exploring the park, the art galleries and the industrial heritage site.
Astrup Fearnley Museum
The Astrup Fearnley Museum is one of the best museums I’ve visited in recent years. The permanent collection comprises works by Damien Hirst, Rachel Whiteread, Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, Anselm Kiefer, Sigmar Polke, Bruce Nauman, Matthew Barney and countless other artists.
Munch Museum
Oslo’s 13-storey Munch Museum is the largest museum dedicated to the life and work of a single artist. If all floors would be filled with works by Edvard Munch that would be a lot of Munch.
National Museum of Norway
Norway's beautiful new National Museum is a must visit if you are in Oslo and not just because of the magnificent Munch room.
Germany/1920s/New Objectivity/August Sander
Germany/1920s/New Objectivity/August Sander is the somewhat awkward title of a mammoth exhibition at the Centre Pompidou. Bringing together some 900 works of painting, photography, architecture, design and film, this is the first panoramic overview of the New Objectivity movement in France.
Sabrina Ratté: Aurae
Aurae is a fascinating exhibition bringing together eleven works by Canadian artist Sabrina Ratté in large-scale immersive installations, combining videos, sculptures, prints and architecture.
Le Théatre des Émotions at the Musée Marmottan Monet
The Theatre of the Emotions is a small but excellent exhibition, which retraces the history of the representation of the emotions.
Réclamer la Terre at the Palais de Tokyo
The exhibition Réclamer la Terre (Reclaim the Earth) at the Palais de Tokyo brings together works by fourteen artists and collectives who explore different ways of existing in the world and reconnecting with the environment.
Fata Morgana at the Jeu de Paume
Fata Morgana is the first edition of the contemporary arts festival at the Jeu de Paume arts centre in Paris. It brings together works that explore how visual technologies produce the images which mediate our experience of the world.
Steven Naifeh and Gregory White Smith: Van Gogh. The Life
I thought I knew everything I needed to know to appreciate Vincent van Gogh's work. As it turns out there is a lot that I didn’t know and after reading "Van Gogh. The Life" I appreciate his work even more.
Van Gogh and the Olive Groves
Van Gogh and the Olive Groves is a small but exquisite exhibition that for the first time reunites the paintings Van Gogh made of the olive groves during his stay at the asylum in Saint-Rémy.
Kröller-Müller Museum
The Kröller-Müller Museum is one of my favourite museums, but it's been years since my last visit. On a perfect day in April I spontaneously and for no particular reason finally visited it again.
