Snøhetta -- architecture, landscape, interior 14 January -- 4 March 2012 Kjarvalsstaðir. The international recognition that the architecture firm Snøhetta has received is quite unique in a Norwegian context. The firm has won two open, international competitions: Bibliotheca Alexandrina and Oslo's new Opera House, which have become landmarks in their countries. On the firm's 20th anniversary in 2009 a major exhibition opened in Oslo's new National Museum -- Architecture. This exhibition at Kjarvalsstaðir displays highlights from the original exhibition.
