Linderud

Linderud is a complex combining a museum building and residential apartments in northeastern Oslo surrounded by green spaces. The museum is housed within one of the residential buildings and presents the history of housing in the city.

Linderud was developed in the mid-20th century as a residential settlement on former farmland. The buildings and layout reflect postwar architectural ideas and show a period of major changes in urban living.

The museum displays items from Oslo's housing history and shows how everyday life in the city changed over time. The exhibitions tell stories about real people and their homes across different generations.

The location is accessible by T-bane subway with stations within walking distance. There is plenty of open space for walking, and the area has flat, easy-to-navigate pathways.

The museum is not housed in a separate building but is integrated into the residential apartments themselves. This creates an unusual connection between an everyday living space and its documented history.
