The Norwegian embassy in Washington, D.C
The chancery at the Norwegian embassy in Washington,
D.C. features works by artists Elisabeth Haarr, Eline Mugaas
and Ann Cathrin November Høibo. Together these artworks
shed new light and perspectives on Norwegian technology,
innovation, and cultural history.
To Reach the Top of a Mountain
Dreams Ahead is the title of Ann Cathrin November Høibo’s monumental, handwoven wall hanging, made especially for the embassy in Washington, D.C.
The Supporter and the Supported
Five terrazzo bookrests, a shelf and a nascent art library are Eline Mugaas’ contributions to the renovated Norwegian embassy in Washington, D.C.
BEAUTY in Capital Letters
Rya rugs are an aspect of Norwegian coastal craft traditions with which Elisabeth Haarr has concerned herself during much of her career. Two works from her series of Travelogues were acquired for the Norwegian embassy in Washington, D.C.
