Svalbard - The New Land

This year marks the 100th anniversary of Svalbard becoming a part of Norway – and our country grew by 20%! We are celebrating this with a unique exhibition that will be presented in two versions: one opening at the Svalbard Museum on June 16, 2025, and another at Bygdøy, by the Boat Hall at the Norwegian Maritime Museum, opening on June 5, 2025.

In collaboration with award-winning comic artist Ida Larmo, we have created a vivid and engaging story about how this happened, what it has meant, and why it is still important for Norway today.
