Description

The National Museum – Architecture explores both contemporary architecture and historical themes. The architecture collection includes drawings and photographic material, in addition to models and other objects.


The main building, designed by Christian Heinrich Grosch, was completed in 1830 as a division office for Norges Bank. It was adapted and extended by Sverre Fehn before opening as a museum in 2008. The building is a juxtaposition of classicism and modernist architecture - an encounter between Grosch and Fehn, Norway's most important architects of the 19th and 20th centuries respectively.

CLOSED: Mondays, Easter (Thursday, Friday and Monday), 1 May, 17 May, 23-25 December, 31 December, 1 January.



Norwegian name: Nasjonalmuseet - Arkitektur
