Website and Screens

Kunstsilo needed a digital platform that could inspire, sell tickets and bring the museum's website and in-house screens into one system. Nonspace designed and developed the website on Sanity CMS, with Brandspace Displayer for managing screen content across the museum.

About the project

Kunstsilo is a contemporary art museum located in Kristiansand, housed in a transformed 1930s grain silo on the island of Odderøya. The museum brings together the Sørlandet Art Museum, Kristianssands Picture Gallery, and the Tangen Collection, one of the world's largest collections of Nordic modernist art. With its bold architectural redesign and a mix of exhibitions, digital installations, and cultural events, Kunstsilo has become a dynamic hub for art, design, and community in Southern Norway.

Visit the website

Kunstsilo is an art museum in Kristiansand, known for its collection of Nordic modernist art and its role as a living cultural arena. As a new destination for exhibitions, events and learning, Kunstsilo needed a digital presence that did more than inform. It had to inspire, convert and connect.

Nonspace was brought in to create a visually compelling, editorially rich and highly functional digital platform that would work both as a practical tool and as a cultural beacon, a destination in its own right. Built on Sanity CMS, the platform lets the Kunstsilo team manage both the public website and the museum’s in-house screens from one flexible system.

Kunstsilo’s ambition was to build a digital experience that could engage a broad audience, from local families to international art lovers, from school classes to sponsors. The platform had to inspire repeat visits, add value before, during and after a physical visit, and reflect Kunstsilo’s identity as a cultural innovator. It also had to support ticket sales, memberships, donations, venue hire and the museum’s own services, such as the café and shop.

We delivered a bold, modular website architecture that balances clarity, creativity and commercial effectiveness. At its core is Sanity CMS, a flexible, headless system that enables editors to create, update and publish content across the website and in-museum screens, all from one place.

The site is designed as a destination in itself, with regularly updated content, a dynamic calendar and rich editorial storytelling that brings users back. With Brandspace Displayer, Kunstsilo’s in-house team can manage playlists, segment screen content by location and update displays instantly, all powered from the same CMS.

The new digital platform makes Kunstsilo more accessible and anchors the museum in the community it serves. The website now works as a cultural hub, with content for those visiting today, planning ahead or curious from afar. Ticket sales, memberships and in-house services are easier to access, and the in-house teams have one streamlined content system.
