About Listasavn Føroya
Listasavn Føroya (National Gallery of the Faroe Islands) is an art museum in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, for mostly permanent exhibits of Faroese arts.
Established in 1989, it consists of a gallery called Listaskáli (since 1970) and another for historic arts (since 1993) with an area of 1,600 m2.
The museum is located at the northern end of the Park of Tórshavn, near the Nordic House in the Faroe Islands.
The architect of the building was J.P. Gregoriussen. The building hosts the Faroe Islands’ Artists’ Association Listafelag Føroya.
The museum is independently managed by a board of four, representing a person of the state government, the artist's association named above, the artist's union and the city council of Tórshavn (one of each).
