I wasn't expecting much from a museum that focused on just one category of the Nobel Prizes, but I'm glad that I was proven wrong.

Not only does the museum explain and discuss the history of the prize, but also uses part of the exhibition to remind people that there is still a lot to be done in helping achieve peace around the world, and to learn from past mistakes. It's sobering and should make you think not just the laureates who have won this prestigious prize, but also those who are currently suffering of war/political conflict and from lack of freedom, and are still struggling to break free from oppression right now.

The second level of the museum was my favourite; you go into a dark room lit up by coloured LED lights where all the past recipients of the prize have little bios about their work that led to them winning the prize in their respective years.

Have a look at the museum shop once you finish the museum! It's filled with all sorts of wonderful things, from ethically and environmentally friendly-made jewellery, toys and cutlery/kitchen ware to books written by the laureates.

The museum is happy to accept student cards and senior cards from any country.

Norway is amazing. Very clean and visually appealing. The Nobel Peace Center is on the waterfront and a must see when in Oslo. You can just browse or purchase some very interesting free trade items. There is also a gallery upstairs for you to view pieces acquired by the peace center. The gallery has a cost associated and you cannot carry your bags upstairs with you. There is often a reception or display in the lower level room and take your camera because you never know what or who you may see.

Visited for the first time the Peace Prize. What would be a highlight: The presentation of the Nobel laureates quickly became a disappointing downturn! Lovely room with the many small lights, but only pictures with a year.
An occasional picture was given explanatory text, but so briefly that there was hardly time to read. Otherwise, one could stand for a longer time in a place without something happening, then a text came up in one of the pictures in the area.

Here should be a great potential for improvement!
In our technical time it should be possible with screen touch or the like. a button to get information. Understands that it is suggested 2 hours of visit time a certain 1 hour to wait for all names to appear ....
My frustration exceeded the pleasure of visiting the place.
Good luck with improvements. Will be happy again if I get a message about improvements.

Really interesting exhibition that was well translated into English. It wasn't what I was expecting. There was a lot of the museum dedicated to one winner of the prize, with a seperate section where you could view all the winners and an interactive book section dedicated to Nobel himself. Not suited to smaller children as it is predominantly reading, but interesting few hours otherwise.

At the time I was there the building was under the slight renovation but you could see the beauty. It offers many exhibitions, museum and shop of course. With OSLO PASS you can have free entry.

There is not much to see. The room with the former winners was very little information and annoying that they themselves could not control how fast then would browse through the information.

They were renovating the exhibition for the 2019 contestants. So that meant there was less to see than normal.

It should be free admission.

For peace the world should be right one-sided by the languages. Had expected more about the price. Great that everything is green.
The trays are running too fast, the audio guide was stuck on point 1. Too bad

We started our tour of Oslo with this museum and it was extremely pleasant! As its name suggests, it is a museum dedicated to the Nobel Peace Prize winners! All the personalities are represented here thanks to an original exhibition. In addition, a temporary xpo linked to the last "winner" is also visible!

It was a little different from the image. I was wondering if you were introducing the winners in various ways, but I think there were many other exhibitions on war and peace. I wanted to buy chocolate, but it was very expensive and I gave up ...

Strange place ...

Strange place ...

A store that sells cheap tourist effects with pictures of peace prize winners, and a kind of "museum" where one has to pay to see ... what? ..peace..?

A mockery of every reasonable thought of peace when one knows the story of most winners of the Nobel Peace Prize.
