The exhibition "Hvor går Tromsø?" (Where is Tromsø going?) opened yesterday.

It is Tromsø Municipality's contribution to Arkitekturens år (The year of Architecture) in collaboration with the Fremtidens(Cities of the Future) project.

The exhibition has been divided into three parts all of which will be shown at Tromsø municipality´s building. The first part of the exhibition opened yesterday and it will stay open until December this year.

This first part is about Tromsø's historical development. The second part will deal with the current urban situation of the city and the third part will speculate about the future of Tromsø.

The objective (or goal) of the exhibition is to reinforce the collective urban memory and to increase the people’s awareness of architecture and urban development. The exhibition intends to contribute to a common knowledge platform in which present and future discussions can be based.

In my opinion this is a very interesting exhibition and I recommend everyone to visit it.
