"What is a primeval forest? Do you see the people? What sounds does the forest make?
Questions like these are vividly discussed among children when encountering Lars Hertervig’s painting Old Pine Trees from 1865. For decades, Stavanger Art Museum has shared this artwork with children and young people – and now we've created a special exhibition inspired by their questions, interpretations, and imagination: Hertervig’s Secrets.
Welcome to a sensory experience, where we get up close with the details of Hertervig’s painting and allow ourselves to imagine further."
