Natural History Museum in Oslo, Natural history museum in Tøyen district, Oslo, Norway.
The Natural History Museum in Oslo is a research institution with exhibitions on animals, rocks, and climate change spread across multiple floors. The collections hold millions of scientific objects gathered from different time periods and regions.
It was founded in 1814 and developed into a center for natural science research in Norway. A botanical garden was added later and became an important place for studying plant species.
The museum shows how Norway understands and studies its natural world, with displays that reveal how scientists work today. You can see how different habitats are organized and how people interact with nature.
The best time to visit is on quieter days when you can see the exhibitions without crowds. Plan to spend at least two to three hours exploring the main galleries.
The Climate House displays the first Nordic exhibition about climate change with interactive displays showing different future scenarios. Visitors can see what solutions are working today.
Opening Hours: Tuesday-Friday 11:00-16:00; Saturday, Sunday 10:00-17:00
