SUMMARY:Threads in Time. A Visit to Queen Sonja’s Art Stable
DESCRIPTION:The Special Events Committee invites you to a guided tour of Queen Sonja’s Art Stable.\nThis truly splendid exhibition presents a selection of the national tapestries from the Royal Collectionand private collectors\, as well as the Royal Tapestry itself\, which depicts moments of King Haakon VII’s reign. \nTwo enormous tapestries in the riding hall depict Sigurd the Crusader\, Sigurd Jorsalfare\, on his crusade to Jerusalem in the years 1107-1110. \nThere are also examples of tapestry work on chairs\, cushions\, etc. which are in use in royal residences\, for example Kongsseteren at Voksenkollen. \nThe exhibition spans the period from the renaissance of tapestry weaving in Norway in the 1890s to the years following the Second World War. \n  \nUnlike other European royal houses\, Norway chose to use Norwegian well-known and lesser-knownartists and craftspeople to create these exquisite works in a national handicraft tradition using local materials such as wool and plant-based dyes. \nThe exhibition represents a unique chapter in Norwegian art and cultural history which has never before been shown publicly on this scale. \nDATE:                 Thursday\, April 23 at 10:45 (for 11:00).
