Visited this place today around 3 pm. It's open till 5 pm. Tickets were 100kr each. However, student tickets are available for 70kr per person.
We were given a locker to leave our belongings prior to checking the museum.
There are 4 floors on this musem.
First floor is comprised of ancient Norwegian artifacts and sculptures as well as the statue of Jesus on the cross.
While arriving on the second floor, we noticed Egyptian historical artifacts which were truely amazing. There was even a mumi. You could also see some historical gold coins.
On the third floor, we saw the world's oldest rune stone. This was truely fascinating. Make sure you check it out.
Now to the fourth floor. This floor was my favourite. It had fantastic samurai swords and figurings and artifacts from Japan. Everything was displayed flawlessly.
I've added some photos of this experience, make sure to check them out.
Overall, I'd give this museum a 9 out of 10 rating. Staff were very friendly, and place was clean and everything was explained with the greatest detail in both English and Norwegian languages.

But that...

It is a clear pander to Islamic "immigrant" invaders of Norway with ideological subversion pushed by corrupt actors. Islam does not belong, & was never a part of Norwegian history despite this forced attempt. Clearly someone in a position in this museum is corrupt & should be removed along with any mention of things not relevant to Norway & its beautiful history - so yes, I enjoyed the rest of the actual museum of Norwegian history but the key factors of this rubbish ruined the experience & is insulting to true Norwegian history - it does not belong. A true reflection of the country & how everything that the true Norwegians built in the past is beautiful & the new things being pushed by corrupt political agendas are a take away from that. Norway, & the people & ideas that made it so are lovely, the new things...
