The Astrup Fearnley Museum was founded in 1993 and is one of the Nordic region’s foremost museums of contemporary art. The museum manages the extensive Astrup Fearnley collection and presents changing exhibitions both with works from the collection and new productions by artists from all over the world.
During this year’s Studentslippet, you can, among other things, visit the large retrospective exhibition with Beatriz González’s (1932–2026). The exhibition is an important meeting with one of Latin America’s most important artists, and the most comprehensive presentation of her oeuvre in Europe to date.
Beatriz González’s (1932–2026) oeuvre appears to be particularly relevant in today’s political situation and media landscape. For more than six decades, González investigated how the constant stream of images we encounter in everyday life affects us and shapes how we understand the world.
Her work combines strong colors and visual power with darker undertones of trauma, loss, conflict, and human vulnerability.
In the Astrup Fearnley collection, you can now see Børre Sæthre’s dreamy unicorn in My Private Sky (2001), Nina Beier’s Fleet (2024) and Nicole Eisenman’s monumental Perpetual Motion Machine (2019), as well as works by Synnøve Anker Aurdal, Jeff Koons, Isabella Ducrot, Robert Grosvenor, Britta Marakatt-Labba and a reunion with Odd Nerdum’s masterpiece The Murder of Andreas Baader (1977-1978).
Beautifully located at the far end of Tjuvholmen, a walk along the harbor promenade from Oslo City Hall and Aker Brygge, the museum is a destination in itself. Designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, the building is surrounded by the Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park with views of the fjord and the beach.
Free admission for new students during Studentslippet.
