Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Contemporary art museum in Tjuvholmen, Norway
The Astrup Fearnley Museum spans two connected buildings designed by Renzo Piano, featuring glass and wood structures alongside Oslo's waterfront.
The museum, established in 1993 by the Thomas Fearnley and Heddy and Nils Astrup foundations, represents Norwegian shipping magnates' dedication to art.
The museum collection focuses on American appropriation art from the 1980s and includes works by Jeff Koons, Richard Prince, and Cindy Sherman.
Visitors can explore exhibitions Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursdays until 19:00, and children under 20 enter free of charge.
The museum purchased Jeff Koons' gilded porcelain sculpture of Michael Jackson with Bubbles for 5.1 million dollars in 2002.

Buildings designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano feature glass, steel and natural light as structural elements. His portfolio includes museums, concert halls, airports, and skyscrapers worldwide. The buildings integrate technical innovation with minimalist design language. The structures incorporate sustainable materials within urban settings, from London's 309-meter Shard to Paris's Centre Pompidou with its exposed technical elements.
Oslo provides photography locations from the Opera House to Holmenkollen. The city presents modern architecture, museums, parks, and historical buildings.
