Norway To Overhaul Museum Structure

Norway is planning a major reorganization of its national art collection as part of a modernization effort aimed at the country’s museums. “At the core of the overhaul are plans to merge four existing institutions into one that will give greater prominence to contemporary art, to be called The New National Museum for Art, Architecture and Design… [But] critics of the project fear that the changes could do more harm than good,” and are raising objections to the individual selected to coordinate the reorganization.
