Galleri Svalbard features the Svalbard-themed works of renowned Norwegian artist Kåre Tveter, so pure and cold they make you shiver, as well as works by other artists such as Olav Storø (www.storoe.no). It also has fascinating reproductions of antique maps of Svalbard, historical drawings with a Svalbard focus, temporary exhibitions, and a marvellous 10-minute film, The Arctic Nature of Svalbard . The gallery has a small cafe and an excellent shop.
Attached to the gallery is the Kunstnersenteret which serves as a workshop for local artists with many of the works on sale.
