Mot Nord / Fra Nord exhibition

Published August 16, 2024

Contributed by Store Norske Skriftkompani

Byraa Bodø has designed the exhibition identity for Mot Nord / Fra Nord for art museum Bodøgaard.

Bodø used the book weight of Store Norske Maleri from Skriftkompani. It’s paired with LL Akkurat and, on the museum website, with Neue Helvetica.

The exhibition consists of two parts. Mot Nord (“Towards the North”) shows works by Peder Balke (1804–1887), the first Norwegian artist to depict the northern parts of the country. Fra Nord (“From the North”) provides a rare insight into the earliest known printed documentation from the High North, through Terje Øiesvold’s collection of books and prints on the pictorial history of the Cap of the North from 1550 to 1850.

Located at Skeiddalen 2 in Bodø, Norway, the show is open until September 22, 2024.
