Recommendation:
The second weekend of May marks two of the biggest events in Kristiansand in a little while; the grand opening of the LGBTQ+ friendly bar and nightclub Barrikaden, and the grand opening of the Kunstsilo art museum! Barrikaden will be the first of its kind in Kristiansand, and the Kunstsilo has already gained international attention for the world’s largest collection of Nordic modernist art.
