Welcome to a brand new art museum!
Monica T. Reitan and Ole-Robert Reitan had a dream that became reality: To bring world-class modern art to their hometown. In the former post office building, in the heart of Trondheim, the doors opened in February 2025 to a completely new cultural arena, PoMo.
In addition to the founders' story told to Agnes Moxnes, the book contains a comprehensive text by architect Erik F. Langdalen about the Art Nouveau building's complicated transformation from post office and office building to a contemporary modern museum building. Dan Thawley conveys the French-Iranian architect India Mahdavi's colorful interior philosophy, while artist and author Matias Faldbakken fantasizes about post offices then and now, with Giovanni Piranesi (1720-1778) as the focal point. Artist Eline Mugaas contributes with the photo essay "Posthus mortem."
The work is richly illustrated with historical and new photographs. A content-rich gift book for everyone interested in art and culture.
