Fodor's Expert Review Stavanger Kunstmuseum

This art museum sits by the lovely Lake Mosvatnet, about 3 km (2 miles) from the city center. Its holdings, which cover the early 19th century to the present, include an extensive collection of works by Lars Hertervig (1830--1902), a great romantic painter of Norwegian landscapes. The Halvdan Hafsten Collection has paintings and drawings created between the world wars.
