In the last years, small but sensational architectural projects along Norwegian tourist routes have gained national as well as international attention.
These loacations - lookout points, picnic areas, services and rest areas - are part of the National Tourist Routes, a project intending to add an extra qualitative dimension and meeting basic needs to car tourists and travellers' experience of the Norwegian countryside.

The curators of this exhibition, Barbro Westling and Peter Johansson, who will come to Bratislava for the opening, have drawn inspiration from early tourism and early tourists’ penchant for «the mystical masterview» in designing the travelling version of the exhibition.
Visitors will be able to view a model of the Norwegian landscape, the various motoring routes winding through it and examples of modern design and architecture through brass-rimmed openings in a display case from the 1900s.
