The new National Museum was open for the public in 2022 and is the largest cultural centre in the Nordic countries. The museum is centrally located on Oslo’s Rådhusplassen (city hall square), making it a perfect place to stop by for an unforgettable cultural experience.

The new National Museum is part of a major project to develop Oslo, opening up the city where it meets the fjord. Experience older and modern art, contemporary art, architecture and design all under one roof and in completely new ways.

The museum is a place for new ideas, inspiration and compelling cultural experiences. We will make art accessible to everyone and reflect the society and the times we live in. In the new collection exhibition, older and modern art, architecture, design, arts and crafts, and contemporary art will be presented under one roof and in new settings. With its new, large exhibition areas, the National Museum can now showcase more of its collection than ever before, as well as presenting a rich programme of temporary exhibitions with Norwegian and international artists.
