Røyk exhibition on Norwegian posters from 1886 to 1938

Røyk (2026) brings together one hundred Norwegian posters from 1886 to 1938, following a pre-standardised field where painters, architects, theatre hands, and illustrators approached the poster in markedly different ways.

All three exhibitions were created by Arve Båtevik.
