Torb - Exhibition design over what is exhibited

A couple of days ago I visited the Norwegian National Museum. I find it interesting how the layout and interior design of the exhibition is sometimes as (if not more) engaging as what is being exhibited.

An example I saw of this was East of the Sun and West of the Moon which are showcasing drawings from among others Theodor Kittelsen. The images where great, but what caught me was the beauty of how the room was set up.

Image of a room with three warm lamps hanging from the ceiling. Blue-green walls with an outline of a forest landscape. On the wall hanging many black and white drawings. Wooden floor with what looks like stones and a chair with books on it. Photo taken with Fujifilm X100V at f5 1/60s 23mm ISO 10000. Processed using Capture One with Fujifilm Classic Negative film simulation.

I’ve had similar experiences with other museums I’ve visited, like this Danish design museum.
