    This is a very special museum. Jan was an excellent guide and the museums follows a very interesting line of thought. It focus it’s mainly on the Bible history on Nordic countries and I liked it doesn’t impose any religious ideas. It states only historical facts and data. It’s surprising and sad that it’s not supported by any foundation which could mean it can end in its closing

    One of the best museums of specific interest. They have maintained the Fram so well and it is an experience to walk in, around and through this fantastic ship. Historical pictures were displayed all around and there were supporting shows to watch. A lot of Ealing involved.

    In the several rooms of this interesting museum are presented sculptures and models that were created by well-known Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland. There are concepts of sculptures that are now part of the bridge, fountain and obelisk in the park in Frogner in Oslo. Furthermore, in the museum are also several models that were never realised on the full scale (some of them showing Vigeland's visions of heroes of sagas and Eddic poems).

    One of the highlights of a recent visit to Oslo. If you want to see how people have lived over the centuries this is a great place to come. Loads to see, an excellent cafe and all reasonably priced. Once the new Viking Museum moves to the site this will be a very full day's visit but even more worthwhile. As a further bonus the boat trip across to Bydgoy and the local scenery are fabulous. Highly recommended.

    We spent much of a day visiting the Gardens. There was a small café for drinks and light snacks. Plenty of space to walk on pathways and most of the plants are very well marked.

    Brilliant museum and gallery with truly wide range of interesting exhibits and pieces.

    We particularly enjoyed the gallery dedicated to artists not normally seen in the context of art galleries and national collections and the Norwegian design through the ages was also really interesting

    Nice place to spend half an hour. Quite an impressive array of paintings and huge area to wonder around for a bit. Upstairs rooms were closed to public.

    Fascinating to see how they had preserved the ancient ships. The audiovisual room gave an amazing experience. Great thought has gone to showcase these ships and the ppl they represent.

    Ski jump is not only a very popular sports but a traditon in Norway. The museum was closed for renovation but whatever we saw, it was breathtaking. The view from top overlooking Oslo was awesome. There was a simulter for people who wanted to get some feeling of ski jump. Also there was a zip line right from top to bottom for adventures people.
    Worth seeing...

    Also known as the Norwegian Resistance Museum, this was really worth the visit. Although we knew a fair amount about WWII, we didn't know much about the occupation of Norway from 1940-45, and this was really well done. Mostly static displays of documents, but translated into many languages. Virtually the whole country resisted the occupation as they could, and the impact of the exhibit was moving

    The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology (Teknisk Museum) is a part of Oslo called Kjelsås that could be reached from the city centre by train, tram and bus. In the modern building are exhibitions on science and technology that are focused on several topics. On the ground floor is presented the development of different means of transport (cars, railway), the technology used in entertainment, the science of musical instruments, and the history of medicine as well as industry. Many showcases are supplemented by interactive panels that allow one to learn more about the subject. Furthermore, it is possible to have a conversation with artificial intelligence on selected topics. In the basement are interactive workshops and exhibitions related to technology, physics, chemistry and medicine. These through the play can teach one interesting issue related to these branches of science. They are prepared for visitors of every age providing entertainment and knowledge.

    In the museum is a lot of places to rest and relax, including a restaurant providing a variety of meals.

    It is important for everyone to be aware of the events of the 22nd July and to remember the innocent victims who lost their lives.
    The Information Centre ensures that we will not forget.
    The filmed interviews with the survivors brings home the terrible events of that day.
    The most moving section is to see the photographs of the victims and to be reminded of how young they were and the future that was snatched away from them.
    May they all rest in peace and may we all remember their sacrifice.

    This museum consists of two main exhibitions. First, close to the entrance, is dedicated mainly to the international missions in which the Norwegian Armed Forces participated in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The second part is focused on the presentation of weaponry and equipment from the medieval period to the early 21st century. It is enriched by films and dioramas. In the museum could be also found the exhibition dedicated to the history of the Norwegian monarchy.

    On the ground floor, it is also a cafe offering warm and cold drinks as well as various snacks.
