In the Historical Museum you will find exhibitions about Norwegian history from the Stone Age to the Viking Age and the Middle Ages. Experience one of the two best preserved Viking helmets in the world, and get an insight into the world’s cultural diversity in our ethnographic exhibitions.
The Historical Museum is located in the city centre of Oslo. The museum building from 1904 is a magnificent example of Art Nouveau architecture. The rich decoration has a rare blend of Norwegian and international elements.
Historical Museum is part of the Museum of Cultural History and the University of Oslo. The Cultural History Museum has Norway’s largest collection of historical artefacts, from the Stone Age to modern times. The museum’s main task is to do research, conservation and outreach on our history through our academic environments in areas such as archaeology, ethnography and numismatics.
