- brucebruce13Australia151 contributionsThis is a very well laid out museum and well worth a visit, small ferry trip from main harbour.You can then travel on to the cultural museum by bus using your ferry ticket.Written 15 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.

- zuvBucharest, Romania22,803 contributionsOne of the most interesting museums in Oslo. You can see how the houses in Norway have evolved over time. Most of the older houses cannot be visited inside, unfortunately. But there are some in which women, dressed as in the old days, cook traditional dishes. Interesting!
At the entry is a nice cafe where you can have a snack and a drink (even a beer).
You need at least 3-4 hours to visit leisurely.Written 14 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - zuvBucharest, Romania22,803 contributionsThe museum is small and not very spectacular. It has a nice section dedicated to children. What attracted me was the fact that the entrance ticket also offers you the opportunity to climb to the top of the ski jumping tower, from where you can see the whole city and the fjord.Written 11 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- Laura MGig Harbor, WA38 contributionsThe museum holds excellent Heyerdahl items and the two rafts are very interesting to see.

- Laust ØOslo, Norway20 contributionsThe fantastic workshop-Museum of the great sculpturer Gustav Vigeland.

- JonathanWilmington, DE944 contributionsOne thing I love when traveling in Europe is visiting museums that share story lines that aren't universally shared as part of the bigger picture. While I knew the basics of Norway's struggles against the Nazis, this museum did a FANTASTIC job of sharing the full story with ample exhibits of various relics of the era. While there are some parts that only explain in Norwegian, I would say that about 80% of it has English placards. There is no glorification but they tell the story of everyone from the King down to the locals. The fact that the museum is housed where Norwegians were imprisoned and tortured by the Nazis made it more impactful. A definite must-visit.Written 28 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- simmondsiDarmstadt, Germany760 contributionsOur first impression was that we had wasted our money - it looked like a one-room museum on the ground floor (the exhibit at the time was on climate change). However heading upstairs we discovered special exhibits on recent Nobel winners and then the room where all awardees are shown with rolling displays with their backgrounds etc. While it is not a large museum there is a lot to read and absorb - my wife and I picked read about maybe 15-20 different awardees each.
If you prefer the kind of museum where there is a lot of interaction and big "wow" exhibits this is not for you.

Entrance is free. The frescos are amazing. This is where the ceremony of the Nobel Peace Price is held each year.Written 10 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
- nilslysengOslo, Norway123 contributionsWe came here on a day off to take it easy and spend some good time together as a couple.
Even many things are made for learning and children. As a grown up can enjoy the museum. There are cool vehicles and exhibitions which is explaining things in detail. Also test things out. Things are naturally closed because of the pandemic. Still lots of things to see.
This place you can easily spend about 2 hours and not think about it. The staff is very attentive and one even turned one thing on because we were studying it for a long time. As it wasn't supposed to work or be on at this time. That was awesome.
Can recommend this museum.Written 28 December 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC. - SashaWorld2 contributionsThe Munch Museum collection is fantastic, of course, but the user experience leaves much to be desired. Couldn't get on the wifi without a Norwegian phone number, no discounts for seniors, confusing guest lockers, labyrinth of escalators and no map brochure to understand layout, private restaurant up top was too crowded and bar didn't serve coffee. Once you reach restaurant you can't return to museum, must take elevator down 12 floors and re-enter through security. Enjoyed the galleries but spent less time than we would have liked due to these headaches.Written 14 May 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of TripAdvisor LLC.
