The Academy is a subdivision of the The Arctic University Museum of Norway and Academy of Fine Arts. Situated in the arctic city of Tromsø, the Academy offers a particular vantage point towards an increasingly significant geopolitical region; The Arctic—with its rich history of exploration, science, trade, culture, and cohabitation between indigenous and Norwegian populations. The Academy host the
world’s northernmost fine arts school which in addition to Fine Art includes programmes in Landscape Architecture and Creative Writing.
