Oslo Museum, City museum in Frogner Park, Norway
Description
The Oslo Museum sits in a historical building within Frogner Park and features permanent exhibitions about the city's development. The collections include photographs, artifacts, and digital presentations that document how Oslo has changed over time.
History
The museum opened in 2006 after merging several cultural institutions to create a central place for preserving Oslo's past. This combination allowed diverse collections to be brought together in one location.
Culture
The museum displays how people in Oslo lived and worked across different periods, showing objects and photographs that reveal changes in family life, work, and daily routines. These collections tell the story of how ordinary residents shaped the city's character.
Practical
The museum is easy to reach when visiting Frogner Park and serves as a good starting point to learn about the city. Allow enough time to explore the exhibitions at a comfortable pace.
