The golden house gallery

The respective galleries of Balestrand´s artists in residence Bjørg Frøisok Bjøberg and Arthur Adamson are located on the Quay area in the centre of Balestrand. Their art gallery house is easily recognisable because of the spectacular glass dome on top (known as the crystal dome) and is actually one of the art installations you can visit. These 2 artists, who came from 2 very different worlds, met in 2003 and fell in love. Although their art is very different, their view of art was identical and so they decided to combine their creative energies and in 2004 they purchased and converted an old building into a house packed with their dynamic art. Bjørg, who originally comes from Hallingdal, is a natural watercolorist, with the focus of her work based on her deep love of nature Arthur emigrated to Norway from the UK when he met Bjørg. His work is based on translating the mysteries of consciousness. The arthouse contains 2 galleries, 2 art installations, an art store and an art cafe.
