The National Museum wanted to see works from artists throughout the country

The new National Museum was to open in 2020 with a large exhibition that would show new Norwegian contemporary art. In the preparations for the exhibition, the curators made a thorough survey of the Norwegian art scene, and had met over 200 artists on their travels around the country.

To get an even better overview, the museum invited artists in Norway and Sápmi to submit works produced in 2018/2019.

With the project, the museum wanted to expand both the museum's own and the public's understanding of what Norwegian contemporary art was right then. One of the criteria for the committee was that none of the artists should be represented in the National Museum's collection. The exhibition was displayed in the 2400 square meters Lyshallen at the top of the new museum.
