Sogn og Fjordane Art Museum

The Art Museum in Sogn & Fjordane was opened in september 2012 in Førde.

The Art collection has more than 800 pieces. The collection has a great number of pieces from the region, but also national art from the last century, particular from the 1970s and forward.

When the county council in 2003 decided to establish Sogn og Fjordane Art Museum as a private foundation, the management responsibility for the collection of about 550 works were transferred from the previously Fylkesgalleriet to the Foundation of Sogn og Fjordane Art Museum. This part of the collection has today more than 800 pieces. The collection is essentially built on transfer from Norsk Kulturråd and their own purchases.
