The Norwegian National Museum of Justice

The Norwegian National Museum of Justice displays artifacts related to law enforcement, including executioner tools and historical documents within a former prison building.

Established in 2001, the museum occupies the former Criminal Asylum and military hospital, structures that date back to the late 19th century.

The exhibitions present Norway's legal system evolution through displays of uniforms, documents, and an Enigma machine from World War II.

Located at Kongens gate 95, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 16:00, with admission tickets available at the reception desk.

The museum contains exhibits about Norway's first criminal asylum from 1895 and punishment methods used under King Christian V's law until 1876.
