On Monday, October 13, 2025, Queen Sonja of Norway attended the opening of Máret Ánne Sara’s commissioned artwork at Tate Modern in London. This event marks the first major presentation of a Sámi artist from Norway in the United Kingdom. The installation will be on display until April 6, 2026. Máret Ánne Sara is a Northern Sámi artist known for exploring global ecological issues through the lens of her lived experience within the Sámi community.






Sonja's expression while discussing the reindeer? skulls artwork with the artist is priceless!
ReplyDeleteOn a fashion note, love Sonja's pants suit, scarf, modern brooch, earrings and shoulder bag. Smart as paint. Lyra
She looks not amused! am surprised such an exhibit is considered art, its insulting to animal lovers
DeleteOh please read! The artists work is about global ecological issues!
DeleteQueen Sonja looks wonderful here--her blue suit is lovely on her and I really like her scarf.

She was out and about on an ecent on Friday and on Saturday she participated in the opening of the Norwegian parlamentet. This blog just didn't share that.
DeleteThis blue pantsuit looks splendid, love the brooch and lighter shade silk scarf. She is always well groomed and elegant.
ReplyDeleteVery nice suit but not a single smile on her face.....
ReplyDeleteWhich could have to do with the topic (global ecoligical issues), couldn't it?
DeleteShe’s focussing. Few of us smile all the time especially when focussing.
DeleteIt is just a moment in time captured by the camera, she may of smiled you don’t know
DeleteNorway is such a wonderful country! The colours of the sky and the sea are amazing! I stood at North Cape with my hubby and he said: "Look that direction. There come the islands of Spitzbergen - and then north pole!"
ReplyDeleteToujours autant d'élégance chez la Reine dans ce superbe tailleur bleu ; bon choix que l'écharpe dont la couleur est douce !
ReplyDeleteShe's almost 90 years old I think, and travelling so much, she's amazing!
