Kragerø: Revisiting an Art Town

I have been back in Kragerø, a town on the coast of southern Norway. I was introduced to more art, to old friends of my husband, and saw some strange, dark, and creepy sculptures. 

Tourism has grown fast since my husband lived here and he feels that the place has lost a little of its soul. There are restaurants and pubs everywhere and mostly tourists in the narrow streets during the busy summer months. But it’s still a very charming place.

I was here last summer and wrote three articles that are still worth reading: A Master of Satire and Caricatures, A Town with a Great Art History and Many Galleries, and Jomfruland: A Walk on Virgin Land 🙂

Kragerø takes good care of its reputation as an artist town and I used the opportunity to see a little more art.
