The Queen’s Room is hereby opened \ud83d\udc51<\/strong><\/p>\n

On the occasion of the 80th anniversary of Danish-Norwegian Cooperation<\/a>, we have, for the first time in Lysebu’s history, brought together two queens in a joint art exhibition in the beautiful Hammerich Room. \ud83d\uddbc\ufe0f <\/p>\n

H.M. Queen Sonja has generously lent the watercolour Fjell IV as well as three ceramic dishes. H.M. Queen Margrethe has, in turn, made four watercolours from the Windows series available \u2013 works specifically selected to harmonise with Lysebu’s unique architecture and a series that marks Lysebu’s significance as a national gift during the Second World War. <\/p>\n

The exhibition will remain on display throughout 2026 as part of the anniversary celebration, and we are both proud and grateful to be able to share this unique experience. This artistic meeting between Norwegian mountain formations and Danish window motifs marks 80 years of Danish-Norwegian cooperation and solidarity. The exhibition reflects the two queens’ shared desire to strengthen the cultural bond between our two nations. <\/p>\n

A great thank you to everyone who contributed with speeches during the opening, and to the press who attended and covered the event. You can read more in the article below. <\/p>\n

A warm thank you also to Maren Selvvaag<\/a> and Natalie Sandtorv for an atmospheric musical performance, with original music inspired by poems from Lysebu’s history. It created a very special atmosphere for the opening \u2728 <\/p>\n

Welcome to the Queen’s Room!<\/p>\n
