Project Q&A with Ringve & Rockheim
Ringve museum and Rockheim museum are part of The Museums of Southern Trøndelag (MiST) and is one of our Norwegian partners in this project. MiST takes care of, produces and disseminates knowledge about Norwegian art and cultural history through exhibitions, publications and a number of public offers adapted to different target groups. For MiST, art and cultural heritage are signposts towards an unknown future and the reference point for the past. MiST’s task is to create exciting encounters between past, present and future. The institution aims to safeguard and communicate both cultural heritage and contemporary art, and through this be an active social actor and participant in the national cultural policy. We have asked Ringve and Rockheim four questions about the project so far.
