Rogaland Kunstmuseum

This is Stavanger's museum of fine arts, both showing temporary exhibitions as well as maintaining an impressive treasure trove of art. The collection consists of some 2,000 paintings, drawings, and sculptures. Most of these are by Norwegian artists from the beginning of the 19th century to the present. Donated to the museum, the Halvdan Haftsten Collection includes some 200 paintings and drawings created by eight Norwegian artists between the two world wars. The museum displays the largest and most impressive collection of the works of Lars Hertervig (1830-1902), one of the greatest romantic painters of Norwegian landscapes, along with an impressive array of the works of Kitty Kielland. The location 3km (1 3/4 miles) from the city center is at the northern end of the Old Town close to Mos Lake (Mosvannet), off E18.
