The Medieval Church Art Collection: University Museum of Bergen (Norway) [Hardcover]

The collection of medieval church art at the University Museum of Bergen is among the finest of its kind in Europe. Most of the objects came from churches in a limited area along Norway's west coast, but their style, techniques and iconography reflect the many cultural connections that tied these lands to other areas surrounding the North Sea and even to the Mediterranean and the Near East.The collection of medieval church art at the University Museum of Bergen is among the finest in Europe.
