Day 12 : Bonus Oslo



The Historical Museum (Historikmuseum)
Address: Frederiksgate 2
Opening Hours: Every day (except for Monday), from mid-May to mid-September, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and the rest of the year, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m..
Admission: NOK 50

Gathered within 200 years, the Historical Museum’s collections count almost a million and a half objects coming from different eras (prehistory, Viking, late Middle Ages). They also display collections of Ancient Egypt, Americas, Asia and Artica. Very interesting, especially the part on Viking objects and treasures.








The Nobel Peace Centre (Nobels Fredssenter)
Address: Radhusplassen
Opening Hours: Every day from mid-May to mid-August, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., closed on Monday the rest of the year. (Same hours.)
Admission: NOK 90

We had not planned to visit it, but since it was “free” with the Oslo pass and it was on our way. As its name suggests, this museum is devoted to Nobel Prize for Peace. It is quite interesting, but nothing more.






The National Museum of Architecture (Nasjonalmuseet Arkitektur)
Address: Bankplassen 3
Opening Hours: Every day (except for Monday), 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. (7 p.m. on Thursday).
Admission: NOK 50

The Museum of Architecture is part of National Museums. Once again we had not planned to visit this museum, but it is located next to the Museum of Contemporary Art. The programme includes architecture, scale models, drawings and plans. Very interesting.



We crossed the Aker Brygge district, well-known for its string of restaurants alongside the promenade where you can sip a drink on a terrace of a bar.



Oslo Reptile Park
Address: St. Olavs gate 2
Opening Hours: Every day from April to August, 10 a.m to 6 p.m. and from September to March (closed on Monday), 10 a.m. to 6 p.m..
Admission: NOK 115

This park is actually quite small. The vivariums are more or less on top of one another. Animals don’t have access to open air. This is rather sad. You can visit it if you are really into reptiles, or if you have children.
