The contemporary art museum of Trondheim: between discreet luxury and inclusivity, breathing life and colors back to the city #
The new contemporary art museum of Trondheim, named PoMo, stands as a beacon of creativity and inclusivity in the heart of the Norwegian city. Inaugurated on February 15, 2025, this museum transformed from an old post office dreams of being a space where discreet luxury meets a palpable will for equality. With a future-oriented collection and a special focus on the representation of artists, particularly women, PoMo is set to restore Trondheim’s colors.
A renovated space that breathes art #
In a building renovated in Art Nouveau architecture, PoMo seeks to establish Trondheim as a major player on the international art scene. The first exhibition, titled “Postcards from the Future,” plays on the history of communication and correspondence. It evokes both nostalgia for past exchanges and the promise of a new artistic era. This place thus becomes a crossroads for modern and contemporary art, attracting visitors and art lovers from all walks of life.
A commitment to inclusivity
PoMo is not just a simple museum; it is a place of meeting and sharing. One of its key objectives is to combat gender inequality in the artistic field. With at least 60% of its future acquisitions dedicated to works created by women, the museum positions itself as a proactive player in this race towards equitable representation. It is not only about showcasing the work of these artists but also about inspiring future generations.
A collection always evolving #
PoMo does not settle for a permanent collection; it aims to be a living museum, whose evolving program offers numerous temporary exhibitions. This allows for a dynamic experience for visitors, who can return multiple times a year to discover new works and new artists. This signals an ambition to create a debate around contemporary art and its place in society.
A new breath for Trondheim
As Trondheim continues its cultural development, the opening of PoMo is a true breath of fresh air. It allows the city to take a turn towards a brighter and more inclusive artistic future. The residents of Trondheim and tourists are now offered a new space where art, culture, and community come together in a friendly and welcoming setting. With this museum, the city finds a new identity, a blend of tradition and modernity where everyone feels free to express themselves and discover.
A museum looking towards the future #
Through its initiatives and artistic choices, the PoMo museum aims to make a name for itself far beyond the borders of Trondheim. Always in search of international inspiration, the museum hopes to organize events, workshops, and conferences that engage the public while highlighting underrepresented voices. It is an ambitious project that could make PoMo a reference point in the promotion of contemporary art and inclusivity in Norway.
