Nobel Peace Center

The Nobel Peace Center depicts engaging stories about Alfred Nobel, the Peace Prize and the Peace Prize laureates through exhibitions, conventions and digital experiences. The museum is centrally located by Rådhusplassen in Oslo.

As the face of the Nobel Peace Prize, the Peace Centre is a natural cornerstone of Oslo's position as a peace city. It coveys stories about people who change the world, and gives a voice to hope.

Experience the Peace Prize exhibition A Message to Humanity (2024), and learn about the captivating history of Peace Prize laureates Nihon Hidankyo, an organisation consisting of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors. The exhibition presents their work towards a world free of nuclear weapons. The exhibition War is Peace? (2025) displays artwork from three centuries and leave us with an uncomfortable question: Has the world really changed? Here you'll find works such as Francisco Goyas terrifying depcitions of war, Yoko Ono's activist works, and Barbara Kruger's powerful, graphic message. The will to change the world is an inspiring exhibition on Alfred Nobel and the history of the Peace Prize, which shows the power that resides in “the world’s most prestigious prize”.

In the Medal Chamber you can see a real Peace Prize medal, while Nobel’s Field is the heart of the Peace Center: An evocative room where you get to meet every Peace Prize laureate surrounded by one thousand lights.

Originality, sustainability and fair trade characterise the selection in the Nobel Shop, where you can find unique books and products inspired by the Peace Prize laureates and the exhibtions.

The Nobel Peace Center is open until 8pm every wednesday. Events are included in the ticket.
