A not so well-known museum of Oslo. This city museum is a small gem. It consists of small exhibitions and a small gallery with painting of the Oslo scenery during the times. The exhibitions are really interesting and some of them are: the history of the city, the everyday life during ww2, the history of the Norwegian Theater, the puppetry art of Karel Hlavaty, the evolution of the kitchens over the ages. The rooms are small but nice and tidy as well as pretty good organised. Finally the stuff is really friendly and helpful. Highly recommended to spend 1 hour here, during your visit in Oslo.

Enjoyable experience! We had a nice little tour at the museum where we listened to some historical facts about the city. The museum offers a wide range of visuals to understand the history better. It is a good idea to get a tour but also you can use an audio guide or simply read the descriptions of the items on your own. Some parts of the exhibition are dedicated to theater, kitchen, lgbt art etc. Also, a tip from the museum staff - the entrance is free on Saturdays. This information can be found on the website along with the pricing for other days.

Worth visiting as part of the Oslo pass but wouldn’t recommend paying into this as an attraction. Exhibitions were unorganised and disjointed with most stuff being in Norwegian and few English translations. They do have some quite cool stuff like an old wooden church roof but a lot of the content throughout is quite repetitive with massive jumps between dates

Not a bad place to visit, but for me it missed coherence and would be a lot more interesting to see for a local that a visitor in my opinion. A plus is that they have developed an app to see the city,as it used to be on 3D on your phone, and "walk" in the ancient streets.

This museum was included in the Oslo Pass so we went. It was interesting to see the history of Oslo but would recommend the Norse Folk Museum which covers a lot of the same material. While there it seemed the top floor was not completed yet and displays were just empty.

In my humble opinion this museum worth visiting only if you have Oslo Pass and then do not have to pay. It is not so good organized, it is quite small and it is hard to understand what is it about. Besides the main exhibition there is a small and cute art gallery.
