MEET UP AND FORM A RING ROUND NASJONALGALLERIET !

PRESERVE NORWAY’S NATIONAL GALLERY


Saturday 28th March at 2pm

MEET UP AND FORM A RING ROUND NASJONALGALLERIET !

The collection fund for saving the National Gallery “Redd Nasjonalgalleriet” begins on the 25th of March



IT IS STANDARD PRACTICE THE WORLD OVER NOT TO SHOW OLD AND NEW ART IN THE SAME BUILDING

IN RECENT YEARS IT HAS BECOME COMMON PRACTICE TO BUILD SEPARATE MUSEUMS FOR DIFFERENT HISTORICAL PERIODS

THE PLAN TO ASSEMBLE OSLO’S THREE MAIN MUSEUMS IN ONE EDIFICE WILL MAKE NORWAY MORE PROVINCIAL

THE NATIONAL GALLERY WAS BUILT TO HOUSE THE PRESENT COLLECTION
IT IS NOT JUST A SHELL

IF THE COLLECTION IS REMOVED TO NEW PREMISES IT WILL BE REDUCED BY HALF

REMOVING THE COLLECTION CAUSES A BREAK IN HISTORY AND WILL RESULT IN WIDESPREAD NOSTALGIA

THE NATIONAL GALLERY’S COLLECTION IS AN INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION IS THE ART OF THE FUTURE

TO MERGE MUSEUMS TOGETHER IN A SHARED BUILDING IS TO MIME CULTURE
