Galleri Pingvin is one of Scandinavia’s largest international galleries. On our three levels you will find well-known and lesser-known artists from many countries - large pictures, small pictures, strong colours, soft colours, figurative pictures, pictures of animals, all at entry level to investment level prices.


We at Galleri Pingvin are here to aid and advise our customers. Whether for pure decoration or investment, or both (our specialties for the last 20 years), we offer expert advice. Stop by anytime for a visit – there is absolutely no sales pressure or push to buy, we simply love talking about our art.


All art in Galleri Pingvin belongs to the artists and is sold on a commission basis. Sold pictures are taken down, meaning the art on offer is renewed weekly".
