Stavanger Art Museum
Today, Stavanger Art Museum has over 2,600 works. Chief among these are Norway’s largest Lars Hertervig-collection and a steadily increasing number of paintings by Kitty Kielland.
Stavanger Art Museum’s roots extend back to the art society Stavanger kunstforening and its faste galleri – an gallery with its own permanent art collection. This collection began on 11 February 1865, when consul Jens Z. Kielland became chairman of the new art society. Kielland was an amateur painter and the father of Kitty and Alexander Kielland.
