Nils Aas Kunstverksted – Museum, Gallery and Workshop
Nils Aas Kunstverksted is a museum for one of Norway’s most significant sculptors, Nils Aas. The art workshop is situated in the town centre of Straumen, near his childhood home.
At the workshop you can experience several of his artwork through a three-dimensional installation, with sculptures, drawings and reliefs which together convey his life and work. His iconic sculpture «Bauta» of stacked firewood is showcased in the middle of the gallery.
Nils Aas (1933-2004) grew up in Straumen in his father’s furniture workshop. This is where the first wooden sculptures were whittled and the foundation was laid. His debut as a sculptor took place at the autumn exhibition in 1964, and in 1972 he made his breakthrough with the statue of King Haakon VII at the 7.June -square in Oslo. Nils Aas’s list of work is long and includes a wide range of techniques, materials and artistic expression.
