About the art collection
The DNB Savings Bank Foundation is building a significant art collection that to a great extent is being deposited at Norwegian art museums.
- In dialogue with the museums we acquire works of art that they do not themselves have the means to acquire. The artworks are deposited with a long term perspective in mind, says Anders Bjørnsen who is responsible for art acquisitions in The DNB Savings Bank Foundation.
The foundation's acquisition of an extensive collection of works by Nikolai Astrup during the autumn of 2005 marked the start of its art investments. This collection is now permanently situated in Bergen Art Museum.
