Art, Comfort, and Culinary Experiences
Stay comfortably at Sundvolden and experience world-class art at Kistefos!
Just a short 23 km drive from Sundvolden Hotel, you’ll find one of Norway’s most unique and internationally acclaimed cultural destinations: Kistefos Museum. Here, a day filled with spectacular impressions awaits, including the opportunity to experience the iconic museum building, The Twist – an architectural gem that has garnered admiration far beyond Norway’s borders.
Kistefos offers a constantly evolving sculpture park, now featuring 55 works by some of the world’s foremost contemporary artists, including Yayoi Kusama, Fernando Botero, Claes Oldenburg, Tony Cragg, Olafur Eliasson, and Anish Kapoor. Many of the sculptures have been specially created for this location, inspired by Kistefos' beautiful surroundings and rich history. The sculptures change character with the weather and seasons, making the park equally fascinating year-round.
In 2025, Kistefos will present a new and exciting exhibition program featuring works by Christina Quarles, Kathleen Ryan, and Nairy Baghramian. Under the theme "The Body and Intersectionality," you’re invited on an artistic journey exploring the body as form, sensation, and symbol – an experience that is both touching and inspiring.
After a day filled with art and nature, we welcome you back to Sundvolden. Here, a delicious three-course dinner awaits in the historic dining rooms, before you find peace for the night. Want to stay longer? We also recommend excursions to nearby spots like Kongens Utsikt and Mørkgonga – perfect destinations for the adventurous.

🎨 Admission to Kistefos
