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.

Kulturhistorisk Museum is a big museum located in the centrum of Oslo. In this museum are presented several fascinating exhibitions concerning different periods and cultures. On the ground floor, are presented interesting exhibitions concerning finds from Stone Age and Early Medieval Art. On the following floors, are presented coins, artefacts from ancient Egypt and exhibitions concerning different cultures and tribes of the North. What is interesting, on the last floor is presented newly opened exhibition concerning Viking Age. In white Art nouveau room are presented numerous showcases with well-known rich finds dated to this period, which were discovered in various parts of Norway. Moreover, in the separate room, we can learn more about the above-mentioned period and artefacts from multimedia presentations and films. In my opinion this museum, which its rich and fascinating exhibitions, is the perfect place to spend time and to learn more about the North (and not only).

Our visit in November was exciting, educating and entertaining. Incredible filming of nature, animals and Viking’s daily living, supported by VR experience and activities that may engage people of all ages. Nice staff and guide who gave advice on what to look for. Delicate shop with lots of Viking related items at various costs. Unfortunately, we had only one hour to spend; next time we will stay longer to explore all the features.
