Arte Povera and parallel practices 1968–2015

This thematic exhibition of works from the collection concentrates on the arte povera movement, which is central to the museum’s collecting policy.

This makes it a highly appropriate subject for this exhibition, twenty-five years after the Museum of Contemporary Art first opened its doors. The museum’s collection started out with 2,500 works from the period after 1945 that were transferred from the National Gallery and Riksgalleriet (Norway’s touring art gallery). It now contains more than 5,000 items by Norwegian and international artists.
