Norwegian Museum of Contemporary Art

The museum displayed a collection of 5,000 works from 1945 to present, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations, and video art across two floors.

Established in 1988 and opened in 1990, the museum operated in the former Norges Bank building until 2017 before relocating to the new National Museum.

The institution presented Norwegian and international contemporary artists through regular exhibitions that reflected modern artistic movements and societal developments.

The museum collection remains accessible at the new National Museum, which opened in June 2022, offering 2,300 square meters of contemporary art exhibition space.

The granite and marble building, designed by Magnus Olsen Hjorth in 1906, featured a main gallery in the former bank hall on the ground floor.
