Nobel Peace Center Reviews

The building of the former railway station was turned into a small museum.

Very informative guided tour in English every day at 2pm.

Very beautiful and exciting this museum tribute to the Nobel Peace Prize, located at the beginning of Oslo's harbor district. On the ground floor there was a very nice and interesting exhibition of an American photographer. The upper floor was entirely devoted to nuclear horror. In a particular room, all the award-winning personalities from the creation of the award to today were displayed on tablets.

Very informative... gallery with Nobel Prize winners- leaders in many fields (from scientists to Nobel Peace prize winners)

We had such a great time here, the kids were very exited about the environmental/ecological exhibition, (down stairs kids friendly). Perfect to do with the whole family. We also encourage the kids to make suggestions for their next exhibition, and to pick out a minimum one thing on each card they have made on how to contribute to less waste and damage to our planet. A fun and at the same time educational activity for everyone in the family!

In my humble opinion one of the best museum in the entire world of you will watch movies they've prepared.

The permanent exhibition was great and let people to understand the ones who served their lives for humanity.

Very interesting museum with the possibility to follow the visit at his own pace from his smartphone. Interactive, it offers a beautiful vision of the theme.

Interesting and informative. One of my favorite places to visit when I visited Oslo.

Nobel Peace Prize winners belong to Oslo. At least a small exhibition and of course commerce.

Very interesting exhibition about the history and development of the Nobel Peace Prize. At 14 and 15 o'clock there are English speaking guides with a nice and very well informed lady.

Incredible experience. Especially in the main room where the names of all of the winners are displayed. Very emotional setting and interesting nuclear exhibit afterwards.

I just like this place. I like to see their exhibitions and children too.

Anyone who is interested in peace and the environment is right here.

This is another place where you should visit once you are in Oslo

Very interesting exhibition in a visually striking and engaging manner

Had a very inspiring and interactive time at the Nobel Peace Center. It's not a huge museum which is nice because it makes it easy to see everything without getting too worn out. I went on a Friday morning a few hours after they opened and surprisingly and happily, it wasn't very crowed yet.

Nice center. Very informative. In the lower area great exhibition on the topic of the environment.

To be honest, the museum does not contribute much. All there are screens with information and videos that could be seen on the internet. It only has the added value of being "in the place" where the winners are announced and in a beautiful area of the city. I would recommend going alone if you have a lot of time in Oslo and have already seen everything else.

Was a very humbling experience to see about Alfred Nobel and all his contribution to humanity. Extremely interactive and informative. Sad to see that Gandhi, could not get it when he was alive. A must visit for all

Nice place to visit if you have time in Oslo.. The staff was very nice

I wanted to visit this place long time back and had chance to go there. It's very close to the cruise terminal and really feel very peaceful and inspired by seeing the history of dedicated people . Every one should visit this place at least once

June 2019

Not a museum in the traditional sense but more of a space for sharing. There is an admission fee needed to enter the display area.

There is also a cafe on the right side of the building as you walk in and a souvenir shop in line with the message of peace and in support of the causes of past year winners. The public toilet is hidden behind the souvenir shop.

The tram stops right in front of the center.

Bit disappointing. Not enough information about the peace prize itself.

It is very updated with the world latest tendencies. Somehow it's related to the things Norwegians worries about; for example on 2018 there was emphasis on the war crimes and the sexual "weaponry" that guerrillas uses in countries with actual conflict. Be prepared to feel a little disappointed with mankind after leaving the Nobel peace center.

Boring center, you may as well search information on the internet. Expect more from the world's largest peace prize

Regardless of your interest in the subject matter - you will appreciate the passion that has gone into development of these exhibits.

This is one of my absolute favourite places to visit in Oslo, and I have visited a great many places in Oslo. The exhibitions are intelligent, thought-provoking, inspiring, and compassionate. The staff are very friendly and the prices are relatively cheap.

One could easily spend an entire day here without managing to experience everything it has to offer.

Would be five stars, except for the price. The exhibits are fascinating and reasonably well curated (we did manage to walk past their only Nobel Peace Medal without noticing it, and had to be shown where it was). On the whole, you will leave with a greater understanding of the NPP, and the importance of the work of the most recent winner. It is a shame there are not more 'exhibits' rather than impressive touch screens with information you could get from the Internet (I did enjoy the interactive book with the history of Alfred Novels life). I would recommend a visit as long as you have the money to spare or can find a way to get in more cheaply. A visit need not take too long, around 1-2hours. The gift shop is well stocked and worth a browse, but very pricey, but, I guess, this is Norway after all. Friendly staff, free cloak-room and clean toilets.

Great place with many information about the past noble peace prize winners and a little summary on each one. I was surprised at how many there were and how few I recognised as I considered myself a Geek. There's a free locker provided for bags as they aren't allowed in at the bottom, and the gift shop is very reasonably priced too, selling post cards and other memorabilia. There was a session taking place downstairs but it was in Norwegian, which I don't speak unfortunately. My only slight annoyance is at how there's not much else to do after seeing past prize winners

It was once a nice train station. Today it is a tourist trap.

In addition to what everyone else has said, the exhibits are all text based and you will need to read a lot. It may be more difficult for younger children to appreciate. I didnt finish reading all the posters but still found it interesting overall.

A must during any visit to Oslo. Great interactive, thought provoking and inspiring exhibitions- make sure you have at least 90mins to spare here.

It's a must visit place in Oslo. It is free. Every 15 minutes, there is a guided tour. And the place is beautiful

Quite a fine museum. A real historical thought in many ways!

It is that place where the Nobel peace prize is a being awarded. The entry fees is around 120 Norwegian Kroners.

Lots of qoutes printed on black and white photographs.

Very interesting. Visit all the creation and the whole story. To do

A must visit in Oslo in my opinion. When we were there late of June, there was an exhibition of Syrian refugees living in the US. Everything from the video footages to handwritten notes were displayed in a dimly lit open space. The nobel peace prize winners room is upstairs and with the glowing stands, the curator created a very calming environment to read through each of their stories.

We have very mixed feelings about this place, but good things first is free to visit, staff is extra polite. You are not allowed to carry backpack with you but don't worry there are lockers free of charge where you can leave your stuff. This place hosts many exhibitions at one time and they are really strangely combined together. You have exhibitions purely related to Nobel prize people and organisations that were prized. Than you have exhibitions about the atomic bomb and a work to abolish it and then out of nowhere there is an exhibition where you have pictures and movies about the women in modern society doing almost everything to get money, fame or beauty so there are videos of naked chicks that are shaking their booties in nightclubs

During reconstruction, therefore, part of the exhibition was closed. But what we could see was really good.

Great specialist museum fir the Nobel peace prize. All you need to know about some very inspirational people

Important topic and they have a great exhibit on sustainability.

Well done museum with a lot of beautifully prepared information.

Interesting exhibition, friendly customer service. I would like to have learnt more about the history of the Nobel Peace prize and how it turned into the event today.

It was an existing tour and felt like walking with history

Too much on topics on the left and frankly it was tiring as nothing new but same depressing outlook!

An very inspiring exhibition about money and humanity by Lauren Greenfield.

The main exhibition was ok.
