Enjoy world-class art and architecture at Lillehammer Art Museum
Lillehammer Art Museum is a cultural gem for both art lovers and curious visitors – right in the heart of the town. The museum is renowned for its impressive collection of Norwegian art from the 19th century to the present day, and it’s the perfect activity if you’re looking for inspiration, calm, and cultural enrichment. From Lillehammer Turistsenter, it’s just a 25-minute walk, making it easy to combine with other experiences in the city.
For those interested in art and culture, the museum is a true highlight. Here you can explore works by well-known Norwegian artists such as J.C. Dahl, Harriet Backer, Edvard Munch, and many leading contemporary artists. The exhibitions are diverse and thoughtfully curated – often with exciting thematic perspectives that invite reflection.
The architecture alone is worth the visit. The modern museum building, designed by Snøhetta, combines light, space, and clean lines in a way that makes the architecture part of the artistic experience.
Families with children are also warmly welcomed. The museum regularly offers child-friendly activities and workshops where little hands can explore color, shape, and creativity at their own pace. This makes the museum an accessible and enriching stop for the whole family.
