Status: Built
Role: Project Architect

Dagny Juels hage - Bee Sanctuary Garden is a public art project in Oslo, Norway. It was created by LOCUS (Tanja Thorjussen and Thale Fastvold) in collaboration with architect Don Lawrence.

The garden is a buffet for bees, bumblebees and other pollinators. Named after Dagny Juel (1867-1901) it incorporates her lyric poetry text "I Tusmørke".

The bee garden is one of several art projects where we focus on the pollinators' precarious situation and honor women pioneers in the arts and is supported by Bilfritt Byliv, Oslo Kommune, Kulturetaten
