The exhibition Peder Balke – The Spell of the Arctic is on display on the 1st floor of the museum. The Norwegian painter Peder Balke (1804–1887) is one of the most fascinating exponents of Romantic painting in Northern Europe. The views he saw on his trip to Northern Norway dominated his paintings throughout his life and Arctic landscapes became his hallmark.
