Poster: Courtesy to the National Museum, OsloI went to a fascinating exhibition at the National Museum (and its Nasjonalgalleriet) in Oslo on Sunday 24. Feb. The exhibition illuminates how a group of artists and scientists travelled together in the 1820s and inspired each other when "discovering" Norwegian mountain areas.
Interesting pictures by e.g. Finnish-Swedish officer Carpelan and Danish painter Flintoe. See link below.
Notice also a highly detailed and aesthetic map of South-Norway by Carpelan. On the map I found the farm where my mother was born, Haakanes at the Tinnsjøen. Interesting to look into the Cosmoramas as well!

At the museum, I also met Bjørkvold, former music professor and enthusiast, and I asked him about the Moseid embroidery, if any solution for exhibiting this had emerged (see other publication on this blog). No news so far on this matter, was the response. Then we both wondered whether the new art museum to be built on Tullinløkka perhaps may give this piece of art a final home? The Four seasons art embroidery by Moseid really deserves to be seen!
