Nikolai Astrup　The Garden of Growth

Saturday, November 21, 2026 - Sunday, January 31, 2027

*Tickets can be purchased from HERE

Nikolai Astrup (1880–1928) was one of Norway’s most outstanding painters of the early twentieth century. Working in Jølster in western Norway, he depicted the region’s landscapes and everyday life, transforming familiar scenes into symbolic images through vivid colors and bold forms. This exhibition, Japan’s first retrospective of Astrup, brings together oil paintings, innovative woodcuts, and textile designs to explore his artistic world. Particular attention is given to his garden, both a source of food and a place of creative experimentation. Through these works, the exhibition invites visitors to discover Astrup’s artistic world and his poetic evocations of nature and life in Norway.
