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.

Enter the surreal universe of the Swedish photographer Erik Johansson in the exhibition, The Echo Chamber (2024). 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”. The new Peace Prise exhibition A Message to Humanity (2024) opens 12 December. The exhibition presents the mvoing story of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Nihon Hidankyo, an organisation consisting of Hiroshima and Nagasaki survivors, and presents their work towards a world without nuclear weapons.

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.

During summer, every Friday at noon, a peace dove is released from the window above the entrance, bearing good news.

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.
