The Art Collection

The national gift included a collection of Swedish and Norwegian artworks that form the foundation of today’s art collection. In 2019, the Public Art Council conducted a review and expansion of the collection, adding works by several Swedish contemporary artists. Today, the collection consists of several hundred works—including paintings, prints, textiles, and sculptures.

The more recent works have been selected in dialogue with the original collection and establish connections between artistic practices, generations, and forms of expression. In their placement, emphasis has been placed on highlighting art-historical connections and allowing the art to interact with the building and its surroundings.

The artworks are displayed in the common areas and are accessible to everyone who visits Voksenåsen.
