This place was awesome! Each exhibit was really interesting and I would definitely recommend blocking off 2 hours and reading each blurb. I would also recommend starting from the top as the Nature and Order exhibit was beautifully made and extremely interesting. Definitely go here it is worth the money!

As a history buff, I was fairly disappointed with this museum. Some of the best museums tell a story throughout time while showcasing artifacts, while this one just shows historical artifacts with a short description. The entire 2nd floor was also under renovation and bore no value. While I visited solely for the Viking exhibition, I was hoping to get something out of the others but they were dull and uninteresting. I wouldn’t recommend a visit here during your time in Oslo.

We didn’t get the chance to spend much time here but what we saw was very interesting. There’s a lot of great Viking history, artefacts, relics. Wish we could have spent more time there.

Classic Museum with confusing and underdeveloped exhibits. Lots of gold here (literally) but almost all the exhibits disappoint. It looks like they tend to build all exhibits around a single idea and then forget about the rest? For a historical museum, it seldom provides context. Instead it's full of (not all random) items and facts, so while you've seen lots, you cannot really remember much? It's too fragmented and unfocused to learn anything. Less than half the building is exhibits and 1/6th the space is a huge room for kids to play in. Overall, the museum offers tons of text, interactivity on the level of 20 year old web pages. Great artefacts on display, but not very engaging. Loved the temporary Samurai exhibit! Small, but very well made!
