Since its founding in 2013, the Kunsthall has become a vital hub for contemporary artistic production and mediation.
Platform for critical and inquiring art
Its trailblazing programme includes both Norwegian and international artists, and encompasses exhibitions, artwork commissions, public programmes, and initiatives for children and youth. With a programme that embraces diverse voices and urgent cultural debates, the Kunsthall operates as a crucial platform for critical artistic and curatorial inquiry.
Practical information

Facilities
Kunsthall Stavanger has access for wheelchair users via a stair lift (maximum weight: 300 kg). To access the lift, please enter through the Kunsthall’s side entrance, where you can ring the bell and notify the receptionist to assist you. Alternatively, a companion may notify the receptionist via the main entrance.
Wheelchair accessibility through the main entrance is one of the museum's main priorities. They are currently renovating their garden to include a permanent ramp, which they aim to finalise by the building's 100th anniversary in 2025.
