The Museum of Contemporary Art - Oslo, Norway - Art Museums on Waymarking.com

The Museum's website (visit link) has this to say about itself:

"The Museum of Contemporary Art first opened its doors in 1990. It shows temporary exhibitions of both loaned works and works from its own collections. Visitors can see three permanent installations: the sculpture Shaft by Richard Serra, Per Inge Bjørlo’s Inner Room V, and Ilya Kabakov’s The Garbage Man: The Man Who Never Threw Anything Away.

The National Museum’s collection of contemporary art contains some 5,000 works by Norwegian and international artists from the years since 1945. The collection covers a broad spectrum of genres and media: painting, print-making, drawing, photography, sculpture, objects, installation and video-art."

and it's history page (visit link) informs us:

"The Museum of Contemporary Art was established in 1988. The foundation of its collection consisted of works transferred from Riksgalleriet (Norway’s touring art gallery) and the National Gallery. With this as its starting point, the museum was given national responsibility for the documentation of post-war Norwegian art. The initial set of works the museum inherited represented the official narrative of post-war Norwegian art history.
In 1990 the museum opened its doors to the public in the former headquarters of Norges Bank at Bankplassen in Oslo.

Designed by the architect Ingvar Olav Hjorth, this beautiful Art Nouveau-inspired building in Norwegian granite and marble was built in 1907."
