Kunstlunsj - Kirkekunst, v/Rognald Heiseldal Bergesen

Kirkekunsten er utstilt i to saler på Tromsø Museum; de katolske gjenstandene i den ene og de lutherske i den andre.

De fleste middelalder-gjenstandene er treskulpturer som en gang har stått i alterskap. Alterskapet fra Andenes er museets eneste helt bevarte alterskap. Det er unikt alterskap, blant annet kjent for sin doble pasjonsfremstilling.

Den lutherske utstillingen viser eksempler på de viktigste inventartypene i kirkene etter reformasjonen, prekestol, altertavle, døpefont, minnetavle.

Omvisningen gis av universitetslektor Rognald Heiseldal Bergesen, ph.d. i kunstvitenskap, UiT.

It is a unique reredos, famous among other things for its double passion presentation including St Olav’s passion on the outside of the wings imitating the passion of the Christ on the inside.
