History and Description
The Kunstmuseum of Trondheim traces its history to a collection of works of art founded in 1864 - at the time the premises where it was exhibited were known as the “Det Faste Galleri” (“Permanent Gallery”); the name lasted until 1973. The first initiatives to organize an art association and collection date back to 1845, when the population of the city did not exceed 15,000 people.
At the first stage of the exhibition activity, the royal residence of Stifsgarden was used to demonstrate the exhibits; the local bank Trondhjems Sparebank was also used with it. Between 1891 and 1914, the gallery was housed in a building purchased from the Trondhjems Brændevinssamlag distillery. The replenishment of the meeting was carried out through the acquisition of works - often this happened after the art competitions. The collection has grown significantly in size since the First World War - today it includes more than 5,000 works.
Today the Trondheim Art Museum has two premises: the TKM Bispegata building at 7b Bispegata Street - it is located next to Nidaros Cathedral ; and the TKM Gråmølna building in the coastal area of Nedre Elvehavn. The main building of TKM Bispegata was built in 1930 according to the plans of the architect Peter Daniel Hofflund. The building has two floors with rooms of different sizes and lighting; it was renovated in 2012, when LED light sources were installed in its premises, which ensured a more stable temperature regime and more uniform illumination of the exhibits. In the same period, most of the interior of the building was restored to its original condition, from 1930.
Formally, the Trondheim Art Museum was founded in 1997, the purpose of its creation was to maintain and demonstrate the existing museum collection. Randi Nygaard Lium became the first director of the museum; He held this post from 1998 to 2010. Catherine Howdal Wieck then served as director of the gallery until Pont Kayander took office in 2011; Since March 2014, Johan Böresson has been the head of the museum. The gallery regularly holds temporary exhibitions of international and regional art - both classical modernism and contemporary art .
