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.
