Nobel Peace Center Reviews

I found the exhibition to be rather biased and lacking in any serious analysis. For example, the question of whether nuclear weapons have resulted in more or less conflict is not addressed. Pictures of Hiroshima but not of Okinawa etc. Wonder if they'll include a photo of Trump if he ever gets a peace prize.

Biting in the details. I recommend it for a moment of culture

Fairly modest exhibitions. The presentation of Nobel Prize winners is modern, and you can say "cosmic". Partly changing exhibition themes.

Interesting use of different digital and physical techniques. Would love to see a little more information on how the prices are awarded.

The exhibition on war refugees is extremely shocking and moving. It makes you think a little bit about what we see on the news.

Well worth a visit with fixed and themed exhibitions.

Learn and experience the historical trajectory and effects of the Nobel peace prize and its laureates.

Wonderful, interesting museum. Worth a visit if you are in Oslo and have time. Also very close to Aker Brygge- one of Oslos nicest areas.

Meh. OK as a quick walk through and part of your all-city pass. Nothing about the origin of the prize or Mr. Noble. Some information about the winners that would be much easier to find (and more comprehensive) on Wikipedia.

A confronting but excellent experience. Beautifully presented and designed. Well done

Space design is full of respect for the winners of the World Peace Prize, and also uses space to show respect for nature.

Interesting to visit, and very nice guide tour! Covered by Oslo pass and have free wifi.

They have something for everyone, children, youth, adults. Interesting and easy to digest exhibition

Excellent experience. Touching. Exciting. To know about people who cared about critical situations of humanity and the planet.

Came here on a rainy day. One can easily spend over 2 hours here if exhibits/information are thoroughly studied. Very meaningful experience gained here and a lot was learnt. Hope our world can become better as Nobel wished.

Beautiful place. A souvenire shop, cafeteria and exposition inside. Everything is expensive as it is in Norway ))

The gallery of all Nobel Prize winners is worth seeing. The quiz with questions about his life is recommended, as this is the only way to really enjoy visiting his "apartment". The audio guide is a bit pointless, but it doesn't cost anything because it is app-guided.

Very beautiful place, that show our way of life isn't substenible, and procure damnage to the entire world.

All interesting about all Nobel peace nominated people

Fascinating place to visit! Exhibitions really make you think and lots of information. We spent over two hours going round!

Stay healthy and quickly be kind to nature and people.

beautiful museum dedicated to peace and the Nobel Peace Prize

Very interesting, collections were heart-moving, and very well presented.

Nice little gift shop too.

Interesting and well designed exhibition on displaced people

Was a lovely experience. Unfortunately the winter hours are short.

We visited the climate change exhibition today. It was quite interesting.

Instructive place, especially for the photos and stories of people who tell us about the wars scattered around the world

Brings to life the exceptional people honored by a Nobel.

It is evident that the workers of the Nobel Center are investing soul. They carefully think over installations to convey to people why and how awards are given to certain actors.

Too boring. It has some temporary exhibitions. When I went to the exhibition, it was about new wealth, talking about speculative bubbles, teenagers who earn monthly allowances and things like that. There was also an exhibition about Alfred Nobel that said he never married but had a platonic love for a woman. I know ... As for the exhibition on Nobel Peace Prize winners, there are only a few photos with special lighting and phrases from the winners. And there are some absurd winners like Henri Kissinger. Totally irrelevant exposure.

An exhibition that can upset the youngest but that questions sincerely about current issues

Worth a visit a little out of the way from the city centre but the walk is worth it

Excellent place for the people who want to be a part of the events related to Nobel prize or simply spend some time in the shop to buy Nobel goodies and memoribilias.

Beautiful building with incredible pieces inside. The Ban The Bomb exhibit is truly haunting and an absolute must see.

Must visit place. Has place cards for all the people like Dalai Lama, Malala, and many more, who have won Nobel peace prize so far.
Free entry.
Beautiful exhibition is going on right now.
The Nobel Peace Center in Oslo, Norway is a showcase for the Nobel Peace Prize and the ideals it represents. The Center is also an arena where culture and politics merge to promote involvement, debate and reflection around topics such as war, peace and conflict resolution

It is worth visiting and understanding the Nobel Prize.

Nobel Awards - everything what every of us needs to know about peace on our planet. Facts, pictures, playground for kids. Good time to stop for while and think where humans need to follow..

Definitely worth a visit if you re interested in the Nobel Peace Prize. The main attraction of the Center is the room containing monitors with past peace laureates. It would take about an hour and half to visit the center.

The idea is great but quite empty and boring content. Also staff didn't care that people were loud and noisy, majority of the content is for reading and it was impossible to read in noise, there was some group and guide was talking so loud i couldnt stay more

It is an area of Oslo with a very good atmosphere. The best area to walk and have a drink looking at the Port and the fjord. Very lively

Very rich with a lot of reading. Use the explanation app in French to enjoy it. For adults and teenagers.

It is a good place to visit if you have visited everything else in Oslo and still you have time. Except one room (the one which has information about every single Noble prize winner) the rest is not very much related.

The Oslo Nobel Peace Center is definitely worth a stop. So that you know, Stockholm is where all Nobel prizes are awarded except for the very prestigious Nobel Peace Prize. That is why this museum is all about peace. Exhibits on the first floor seem like traveling exhibits which may well be different each time you come. Here I saw photography on the subjects of lost freedom, prisoner abuse and neglect, sexual abuse, discrimination and others of humanity s evils. But fear not, when one travels upstairs, after some more depressing nuclear weapon/land mine exhibits, you do eventually see the best of humanity. The main exhibit is a stellar presentation of each peace prize recipient on tablets. The tablets are surrounded by lights in a dark room. Each tablet senses your presence and activates when you look at it. Pics below. The curator told me that most people take 45 minutes. It took me double that but this is still a very doable excursion that will not take up your entire day. Please be aware that the museum is not where the actual ceremony takes place. That is across the street at City Hall and has different hours.

Place full of meaning .....
But the tour and 'lasted five minutes
120 nok

Entry was included in the Oslo pass, if I had to pay extra for it it would have been a disappointment. Expected more

Nobel Peace center, located in Oslo, nice place to visit and learn.

Mythical monument known throughout the world.
Could not get in (under construction)

It is a place that makes you think ..... and understand better
the best side of humanity

memorable site, great characters stories that improve the world.

A must visit when in oslo and the fact that its next to town hall makes it more easy to get to,There was some construction work going on

One of the must visit center in Oslo. The Nobel Peace Center is popular destination for tourists. It is a lot of to browes and learn a lot. You can take your camera up stairs but not allowed to carry bag. Nobel Peace Center is all about history of peace prizes and a lot to learn from the center.

This is a must see when visiting the city. I can highly recommend you to take the tour and do not bring kids. It took about an hour to go through and enjoy the exhibit

Humans they only care in getting goods and services more than they would need ,when they grow in age and spirit and the remaining life diminishes start making donations so to excuse their actions against other humans beings .Peace is the key word that we must learn as a culture and action so our spirit and heart will rest in Peace.

History of the Nobel Peace Laureates. It makes you think and if you have the Oslo Passarella it is free.

The Oslo Peace Center is an important institution. The fact that the Nobel Peace Prize is divided into Norway and not Sweden, like the rest of the prizes, is interesting and unclear. The exhibition we saw at the entrance dealt with the image of the woman's body and the social processes surrounding this image. And the meaning of age and the extension of boundaries between young and old in the modern era. The second part dealt with the atomic bomb and those who received the award over the years. Do not miss out

Peace would be great, but it's hard to make something like this interesting, i.e., to communicate something you couldn't just read at home. They tried, and the prize has certainly been awarded to some very deserving individuals, but it also seems the small committee has made some really strange calls occasionally, hurting the reputation and integrity of the institution.
