Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Coord The Espolin Gallery (Шаблон:Lang-no) is an art gallery in Storvågan near Kabelvåg in the municipality of Vågan, Norway.
The gallery was established in 1992 to display the works of the artist Kaare Espolin Johnson.[1][2] In addition to Espolin Johnson's works, the gallery also displays works by other artists. The gallery is now part of the SKREI Heritage Center (SKREI Opplevelsessenter) at Museum Nord.[3]
Architecture
The building was designed by the architect Gisle Jakhelln. He took his inspiration from traditional Icelandic construction because Espolin Johnson had Icelandic ancestors.[1] In June 2006, the gallery was expanded with a new wing measuring around Шаблон:Convert. The gallery received financial support for the expansion from the Arts Council Norway, Nordland County Council, the municipality of Vågan, and the bank Sparebanken Nord-Norge.[1]
