Lille Kabelvåg art gallery and museum

Lille Kabelvåg art galley and museum isn’t quite as little as its name would lead you to believe. Spread over 600 square meters, the exhibition space displaying works by more than 200 artists, the Gallery & Museum is one of Lofoten’s largest private art galleries. The gallery was founded by the artist couple Inger Anne Nyaas and Thor Erdahl in 2006. In the gallery you find their work. Inger Anne Nyaas is a textile artist, and by her own admission, enjoys challenging the traditional understanding of the artistic arena. Thor Erdahl is a painter and graphic artist, and renowned for depicting motifs from nature by using large formats, simple shapes and vibrant colours. He grew up in Kabelvåg, and is held in high regard as one of the region’s most eminent artists. In 2014, the gallery opened the object and art exhibition Kunst i motbakke (Uphill Art), a large installation incorporating elements from archaeology, history, graphic design, photography and arts and crafts.
