Museums in Oslo

What to Expect

Oslo has one of the strongest museum scenes in the Nordic region: major national institutions, maritime and polar museums, art museums, local history museums, science museums, and a good number of smaller, more unusual collections. Some are large all-day destinations, while others are intimate specialist museums that reward a shorter visit.
