The museum holds the extensive Astrup Fearnley Collection, and presents changing exhibitions that draw on the collection as well as debut new commissions by artists from all over the world. The museum, designed by Renzo Piano, spans two buildings bisected by a canal, and is situated on the Oslofjord in the Tjuvholmen neighborhood of central Oslo, next to Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Astrup Fearnley Collection dates to the 1960s, and is one of Europe\u2019s most comprehensive collections of international contemporary art. The collection does not concentrate on specific eras, styles or groups, but pays close attention to the work of a wide variety of artists. The museum maintains the vibrancy of the collection by regularly rehanging the exhibitions, placing the works in new constellations and contexts. The collection includes significant works by artists such as Matthew Barney, Paul Chan, Trisha Donnelly, Nicole Eisenman, Ida Ekblad, F\u00e9lix Gonz\u00e1lez-Torres, Rachel Harrison, Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, Glenn Ligon, Sigmar Polke, Cindy Sherman, B\u00f8rre S\u00e6thre and Wolfgang Tillmans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Founded in 1993, the Astrup Fearnley Museet is one of Scandinavia\u00b4s most notable museums for contemporary art. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1108,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"afm_hide_title":false,"afm_page_card_label":"","_afm_post_new_title":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1208","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) -
