10 Museums in Faroe Islands That You Shouldn't Miss
Bobbing in the frothing North Atlantic, the remote, 18-piece Faroes are a picturesque patchwork of emerald pastures, dotted with sheep, gaily-hued cottages and tree-free moors. The sea is never more than three miles distant in this proud, assured land, where deep-rooted traditions remain strong. The coasts boast deep fjords, steep cliffs and looming headlands. Explore these fjords by wooden sloop or sail the coast by schooner. Walk the fells and brave the unpredictable weather to puffin spot.

Welcome to the National Gallery of the Faroe Islands The Gallery is housed in a building opened in 1993 and designed by Niels Frithiof Truelsen (DK) and Palle Gregoriussen (FO). The construction was financed from official and private funds, Faroese as well as Danish.* With its black-stained exterior and numerous gables, the building recalls the traditional Faroese boathouse while the straightforward interior floorboards is similar to the other museum designs by Truelsen in Denmark. To the left you find the new exhibition rooms, and from the entrance hall there is also access to an older exhibition hall with skylights, built in 1970 by the Faroe Islands Art Society and designed by Gregoriussen. The collection of the Gallery contains about 2600 works which mainly constitute Faroese works of art. The body of the works is based on an art collection assembled by the Faroe Islands Art Society and the Faroese government from the 1940s and onwards. In 1989 the National Gallery of the Faroe Islands was established as an independent association. * Føroya Landsstyri Torshavnar Kommuna Listafelag Føroya Fossbankin Bokhandlarin Hans og fru Kate Niclasen Dronning Margrethe og Prins Henriks Fond Augustinus Fonden Beckett-Fonden Knud Højgaards Fond Velux Fonden

We really enjoyed multiple, quite unique exhibitions by Faroese artists. There's quite a variety of pieces to enjoy in a relaxing atmosphere. The blue room is surely something out of this world! The staff was very chatty and friendly as well and offered us free end-of-the-day coffee on our way out. Highly recommended!

I am a wheelchair user. This museum is on 2 floors, but both are accessible. There is a small lift between floors. I really enjoyed this visit as I love museums. It is well laid out, and spacious with captions in Faroese, Danish and English There was plenty to see, especially the archeology discoveries.
