The Twist is a gallery, a bridge as well as sculpture, all in one. The 1000 square meter building twists into a sculptural form and ranges 60 meters across the Randselva river. The building was designed by the Danish star architects BIG - Bjarke Ingels Group. It is referred to as a "must-see" artistic destination by the New York Times, Bloomberg, and The Telegraph. In a rhythmic interplay of woodland nature, The Twist is a gorgeous gallery with mixed light sources and river views. The Twist keeps three galleries; Closed Gallery, Twist Gallery, and Panorama Gallery. From the south side of the river, visitors reach through a spectacular double-height space into the Closed Gallery, with precise sightlines through the whole building to the north entrance. The notion of a new gallery building appeared up many years ago. There was a need for a larger and more contemporary building that met the requirements of the site's preference to showcase high-quality worldwide art.

The Twist is an art museum located in Jevnaker, Norway. Completed in 2019, it is part of the Kistefos Museum and Sculpture Park. The museum's design is distinctive for its twisted, angular form, which gives it the appearance of a sculptural bridge. It spans the Randselva River and connects the two riverbanks. Designed by the architecture firm Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), The Twist serves as both an exhibition space and a bridge, blending art, architecture, and nature. The museum hosts contemporary art exhibitions and has quickly become a notable cultural attraction, celebrated for its innovative design and scenic setting within the sculpture park.

This architecture and gallery is worth while the 1 hour trip from Oslo despite there is much more to see in terms of outdoor sculptures at Kistefos Museum. The Twist is an amazing piece of architecture that looks like a simple twisted walking tunnel over the water, but coming inside it is surprisingly voluminous and beautiful. All white with twisted panels that enhances the art and their colours. Dont forget to visit the toilets with the sculpture of a man peeking in from outside and the toilet lockers with exciting live art on the walls, all different in each locker so you have to visit the all of them. Enjoy 😊

Vi koste oss. Bygningen "The Twist" er ikke lik noe annet. Det er ei bro. Et museum. En kunstutstilling. Men aller mest er det en arkitektonisk twist. Skulpturparken er verdt et besøk fra både små og store. Hele runden er ca 2 km. Vi hadde gått fire km da vi hadde vært innom det vi ville se. Ser ut til å være tilrettelagt for barnevogn og rullestol. Over alt finnes kunst og skulpturer. Det fineste i våre øyne var en flott labyrint i speilglass som omkranset en fontenelabyrint man kan gå inn i. Her var lekepark for barna. Trivelig tursti som går langs elva og litt inn i skogen. Massevis av benker og bord over alt. Kafeteria og toaletter. Rullestolavhengige kan nok oppleve det enklere å kjøre tilbake samme vei enn å ta seg opp bakken til hovedparkeringen. Snau hovedparkering. Vit at man kan parkere på andre siden via egen innkjøring.

Твист - символ парка Кистефос, культовое архитектурное чудо, здание-мост-экспонат- произведение искусства на фоне величественной норвежской природы. . Все в одном. Белоснежное, метало-деревянное , минималистическое, энергетическое веретено, не оставит никого равнодушным. Функционал здания - является выставочным залом для меняющихся экспозий современного искусства. Сувениры, книги и картины дорогие. Фотографировать можно, прекрасное место для этого. Интересно организованная зона rest room.

I walked through the gallery structure twice in awe. What a stunning building! Make sure you observe it from all sides as well as the downstairs space.
