Filled with scenic views of its namesake fjord and a time-traveling mixture of Gothic, Romanesque, and wooden architecture, Trondheim, Norway's third-largest city and "knowledge capital", is a rising destination for travelers interested in getting a taste of authentic Scandinavian innovation. With the unveiling of modern and contemporary art museum PoMo, which opened its doors to the public in the heart of the cultural quarter last week, a new chapter in its centuries-spanning history has only just begun.
Dreamt up as a world-class hub for modern and contemporary art by Trondheim natives Monica and Ole Robert Reitan, who funded the project, this newly launched institution is more than yet another platform for painting, sculpture, photography, installation, and design exhibitions.
