The first statutory board meeting of The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design was held on 11th February 2003. In July the same year, the museum was established as a foundation. This meeting marked the amalgamation of The Norwegian Museum of Architecture, The Museum of Decorative Arts and Design, The Museum of Contemporary Art and the National Gallery. A new director, Sune Nordgren, was appointed during the autumn, and the work of restructuring The National Museum from four separate museums began. This entailed the creation of one, split-function organisation with four different exhibition venues. In April 2005, most of the staff of The National Museum moved to a new administration building in Kristian Augusts gate 23, close to Tullinløkka. On the 1st of July 2005, The National Touring Exhibitions, Norway became part of The National Museum.
The aims of the new museum are to "raise the level of knowledge about and commitment to the visual arts, architecture, the decorative arts and design, develop critical faculties, stimulate new perceptions, increased historical consciousness and tolerance of diversity".
Exhibitions
16 exhibitions, presenting Norwegian and international art are planned to be shown in The National Museum's venues during 2005. At the beginning of 2005, 3 new basis exhibitions opened. These showcase work from the museum's own collections and are presented respectively in The Museum of Decorative Arts, The Museum of Contemporary Art and The National Gallery.
Relocation of The National Museum's architecture exhibition space
In April 2005 The Norwegian Museum of Architecture moved out of Kongens gate 4. New premises in Bankplassen 3 will be ready to move into in early 2007. In the meantime, exhibitions of architecture will be shown in the National Museum's other venues.
