NUART STREET WORKS
These map references show selected works produced as part
of the Nuart Festival between the years 2006 and 2011. This
is by no means an in-exhaustive survey of the public art that
Nuart have been responsible for placing on the city streets
but is rather a guide to specific artworks and areas of interest.
Keep your eyes open and you’ll no doubt stumble upon
numerous other works during your tour. These tours offer
locals and visitors to Stavanger an opportunity to get off the
beaten track and explore the more hidden areas of interest in
and around central Stavanger.
