The Medieval Church Art Collection - University Museum of Bergen (Norway)

Most outstanding are high medieval altar decorations of painted wood: twenty altar frontals, various polychromed Madonnas and a vaulted altar canopy. The collection also includes several Romanesque baptismal fonts, late Gothic winged altarpieces, metal vessels, and liturgical vestments. Introductory chapters on the museum's history and on Western Norway's medieval church landscape are followed by a presentation of one hundred selected art works.
