C u l t u r a l V e n u e s a t L i l l e h a m m e r T h e S a n d v i g C o l l e c t i o n s , M a i h a u g e n The Maihaugen Hall at the outdoormuseum Maihaugen was the main cultural venue during the Olympics. The museum is located east of downtown Lillehammer. The museum is a unique outdoors museum featuring historic buildings and interiors from all of Gudbrandsdalen. Maihaugen Hall was finished in February 1993. The latest in sound technology has given the hall unique acoustics. The walls and ceiling of the hall are fitted with reflectors which can be raised or lowered so that the sound can be adapted to the specific event. The hall has a flat floor, and most of the 750 seats have been placed on telescopic stands which can be adjusted so that everyone can have an equally good view of the stage. The side walls have been covered with light, birch wood panels, while the floor of the hall and the scene have been laid in smoked oak. The Maihaugen Hall was the most used concert hall during the Olympic Arts Festival. International stars, local and national musicians in the fields of classical music, choir, marching band and folk music performed at Maihaugen Hall almost every day during the Arts Festival. B a n k e n C u l t u r a l C e nt r e In 1895, the Banken Cultural Centre was rehabilitated after many years of decay. The halls in the Centre ones reverberated from the sound of cultural activities. The building was also one of the main cultural arenas during the Winter Games in 1994 – almost one hundred years after the official opening. During the Games, all of Norway’s television audience became familiar with Banken Cultural Centre which was the studio for NRK’s Olympic broadcasts. Curving windows, columns and stucco work are some of the elements which give the cultural centre an impressive look. At the back, a mobile amphitheatre with a capacity of 250 has been installed.
L i l l e h a m m e r A r t M u s e u m This is Lillehammer’s most important venue for art exhibitions. Also called “The Grand Piano”, the museum was completed in November 1992. The light, wooden building resembles a grand piano in form, with its perfect harmonized lines. The original buildings were completed in 1963. Restoration of the old building and the new annex has given the building a completely new appearance. In all, Lillehammer Art Museum has 3 100 m 2 of floor space. The exterior of the building is covered with wood, steel and glass, while the interior has light surfaces and a floor of marble, granite, slate and wood.
