Street Art and murals in Sandvika
Look forward to a colorful gallery tour out of the ordinary and get to know new aspects of our local community and towns.
In recent years, international urban artists and local art enthusiasts have decorated the walls, undergrounds and columns of Sandvika with street art. We have mapped out some of the highlights you’ll find in Sandvika. Enjoy a different gallery experience.
Here you will find everything from Munch-inspired works of art at Løkkehaven in the underpass under Elias Smith's way by DUER to stenciled art around Rådmann Halmrasts vei by Varg Wolfgang.
Use our interactive map to locate Sandvika's murals, and do not miss the new colorful murals in the pedestrian tunnel down to the sea.
In addition, Sandvika has several beautiful sculptures in public spaces, e.g. along the river promenade from Løkkehaven down to Kadettangen.
The clickable map below shows you the location of selected works and graffiti areas. It is in the nature of street art that some works may have been changed or disappeared completely as part of the renewal of Sandvika city. The art around Helgerudgården will disappear in connection with the rebuilding of the entire quarter.
