The Oslo City Museum (Oslo Bymuseum) tells the story of the Norwegian capital, from its medieval origins to the present day. Located in the charming Frogner Park, inside a historic 19th-century villa, the museum offers a fascinating journey through the centuries of urban, cultural, and social transformations of the city.
The collections include historical photographs, maps, paintings, furniture, costumes, and objects of everyday life, showing how Oslo has grown from a small Viking settlement to a modern Scandinavian capital. An important area is dedicated to the life of its inhabitants, with reconstructions of domestic environments and scenes of urban life from past eras.
The museum is also famous for its photographic exhibitions, documenting the visual memory of the city through thousands of vintage images. Outside, visitors can stroll through the beautiful Frogner Park, home to the famous sculpture complex by Gustav Vigeland.
Thanks to educational activities and guided tours, the Oslo City Museum is ideal for both tourists and those who wish to delve into local history. Its location, surrounded by greenery and not far from the city center, makes it a perfect destination for a complete cultural itinerary.
