THE NEW MUSEUM
Norwegen 2025 – Director: Birgitte Sigmundstad – Original language: English, Norwegian – Subtitles: English – Length: 110 min.
From 2016, Birgitte Sigmundstad followed the merger of four existing state museums into one: the National Museum for Art, Architecture and Design in Oslo. Through the film’s unhurried and thoughtful camera work, the advantages and the downsides of the new building become apparent. What is art? And who should an art museum be conceived for?
