Villa Stenersen

Villa Stenersen features a white concrete exterior, glass brick walls, and multiple levels designed to display an extensive art collection within its 512 square meters.

Architect Arne Korsmo designed the residence between 1937 and 1939 for financier Rolf Stenersen, who later donated the building to the Norwegian state in 1974.

The National Museum of Art manages this functionalist structure, which represents Norwegian architectural innovation through its combination of living spaces and art display areas.

Visitors can reach the villa by taking Metro line 2 or 3 to Borgen station, then walking along Tuengen allé, with public access limited to summer Sundays.

The stairwell functions as a vertical gallery, illuminated by 625 glass cylinders that create natural lighting effects for the artwork displayed on its walls.
