Kunstsilo is one of Northern Europe’s most innovative art museums located on Norway’s stunning southern coast. Housed in a reimagined 1930s grain silo it is home to the world’s largest collection of Nordic modernist art—the renowned Tangen Collection—and a dynamic programme of rotating international exhibitions.
More than a museum, Kunstsilo is a vibrant cultural hub offering immersive exhibitions, concerts, lectures, creative workshops, culinary experiences, and unique event spaces. Kunstsilo is expanding the role of the modern museum through its innovative programming and inclusive approach.
The museum is led by Director Maria Mediaas Jørstad, an experienced arts and culture professional known for her work in cultural strategy, and leadership across the Nordic region. Under her direction, Kunstsilo is forging strong international partnerships and championing accessibility, diversity, and community engagement in the arts.
Recognised globally for its bold concept and architectural transformation, Kunstsilo was named one of the “World’s Greatest Places” by TIME and one of the “52 Places to Go in 2025” by The New York Times.
