Listasavn Føroya

Listasavn Føroya is an art museum on the Faroe Islands that displays contemporary and historic works across several gallery rooms. The building provides space for rotating exhibitions and allows visitors to explore artworks from different periods.

The museum was founded in 1989 by bringing together various art collections and institutional resources. This consolidation created the foundation for a comprehensive art institution on the islands.

The collection displays works by Faroese artists who represent local creative traditions through painting and sculpture. You can see how artists from these islands interpret their surroundings and daily life.

The museum is located in the town center and is easily reached on foot. Visitors should note that opening hours vary by season, which affects planning a visit.

A special feature is a glass room designed to create optical effects that alter the view of the surrounding landscape. This architectural element creates an unusual experience between artwork and nature observation.
