Thorvald Erichsen "Living Landscape"
The exhibition shows landscape paintings from Holmsbu and Kjelsøy in the period 1920-1939. Thorvald Erichsen is one of our great artists from the early 20th century, a fantastic colorist and a "Painter of Light". Erichsen often painted the same landscapes over and over again, but the light and mood are always different. Join the presentation and experience how Erichsen's immediate way of painting affects the experience!

The Japanese Garden is a small piece of Japan in Norway. Creating such a garden requires a high level of expertise in Japanese culture and garden art. Our garden is a mountain garden, a miniature landscape that tries to reproduce nature in a poetic and harmonious way. The Japanese garden has a 1,000-year-old history and is loaded with a lot of symbolic content. If you want to get to know this garden better, you are most welcome!
