Listasavn Føroya, National art gallery in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands
The museum features permanent exhibits across 1,600 square meters, displaying both contemporary and historic Faroese artworks in dedicated gallery spaces.
Founded in 1989, the museum integrated the Listaskáli gallery from 1970 and added a historic arts section in 1993 to create a complete art institution.
The collection presents works from notable Faroese artists including Sámal Joensen-Mikines, Ruth Smith, and Zacharias Heinesen, representing local artistic traditions.
Located at the northern end of Tórshavn Park, the museum opens daily from 11 AM to 5 PM during summer and Tuesday through Sunday from 1 PM to 4 PM in winter.
The museum features a glass room installation that creates an optical effect of floating on the sea, with views extending 700 meters above and below.
