The Japanese garden
The Japanese Garden was laid out in 2013 and is open every day and follows the museum's opening hours. Visitors can experience how the landscape changes during the changing seasons.
With this, the museum wants to add a contemporary character to the museum park. A Japanese garden is the natural choice seen in the context of contemporary neo-modernism in architecture and its continuation of Japanese simplicity and elegance.
The garden is a place for an artistic experience and contemplation. It contains an open viewing veranda where the public can sit under a roof, and experience the different qualities that arise in changing seasons. Subtle lighting makes it attractive to the public even in the dark.

An Insiders selection!

Popular lecture series on the concept of identity

Cyclical time at Hallingtunet
We think we are getting less and less time, and feel more and more need to arrange the little time we have. We have calendars, with dates for each day of the year, and weeks and months with names in specific order. A record calendar has a spring page and an autumn page; on June 30, we turn the calendar over, and when the year is over, we throw it away: the year is over, we are done with it, and it will never come again.
