Art Walk weekend

May 28 – 31
Explore the local museums and galleries of Oslobukta. As Oslo Art Weekend takes place across the city, Oslobukta invites you to discover new exhibitions, experiences, and inspiring encounters with art for all ages through our very own Art Walk trail.

Art Experiences by the Fjord.

Art Walk is Oslobukta’s own curated art trail: follow the route between stops and discover new artists, inspiring ideas, creative expressions, inventions, and mesmerizing scents along the way.

Never been to a gallery before? Perfect. Everyone is welcome. This weekend is all about getting inspired, staying curious, and letting creativity lead the way.

The Art Walk Route:

Stop → FLOP Museum
FLOP Museum presents The Art of Failure – an unconventional Art Walk stop exploring failed products, design mistakes, and innovation gone wrong.

During Art Walk, visitors receive discounted admission NOK 95 by mentioning Art Walk at the door.

Stop → Kösk

Exhibition Opening – May 29, 6–8 PM

ITAKA – Terje Abusdal

The exhibition ITAKA consists of a series of photographs and a spatial sound installation, based on material gathered over seven years of travel across Europe to the beaches of the Greek islands.

The work is an open and ambiguous exploration of the Nordic dream of sun, warmth, and adventure – where a romanticized longing for a carefree life by the Mediterranean intertwines with the geopolitical realities shaping the continent today.

Stop → QSPA – The Queen Sonja Print Award

For fifteen years, the Queen Sonja Print Award has brought artists together through shared creative processes, and it is these encounters that the anniversary exhibition is all about.

Collaborations present works created through close artistic dialogue between H.M. Queen Sonja and invited artists, where ideas, techniques, and visual expressions have been exchanged and developed over time.

Opening on May 28, the exhibition offers a unique insight into printmaking as an art form and collaboration as a creative method.

Join us for the opening evening from 6–8 PM!

The gallery will also have extended opening hours during Oslo Art Weekend:

May 29: 12:00–18:00
May 30: 12:00–17:00
May 31: 12:00–17:00

Stop → Heaven Scent Bjørvika
Creating a fragrance is an art form, a craft of its own. It is an experience that awakens the senses and sparks our imagination and creativity.

During Art Walk, Byredo launches two new Absolu versions of their bestselling scents: Gypsy Water and Black Saffron, alongside a new Cotton Blend Collection.

More information coming soon.

Stop → Something to Eat?
