Exhibition in Oslo Science Park

Oslo, Home of the Spray Can

Datoer

Did you know the spray can was invented in Oslo?

In 1926, engineer Erik Rotheim created what was to become the very first patent on aerosol technology, on which today's modern spray cans are based.

Oslo, Home of the Spray Can is an exhibition of historical objects, archival documentation and curated artworks that celebrates Rotheim’s invention and the art movements to which it gave birth – graffiti and street art.

The exhibition marks the beginning of a three-year collaboration between Oslo Science Park and Street Art Oslo celebrating the meeting point between art and technology. We are also grateful to The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, The Norwegian Patent Office and Tekna for their contributions to the exhibition.

Exhibition Period:
22. AUGUST - 27. SEPTEMBER

Opening hours:
Mon-Thu: 07:30-17:00
Fri: 07:30-16:00
