This museum isn’t huge, but it has a great collection of Viking artifacts, a really large and interesting collection of gold coins, and some Egyptian artifacts.
I was surprised by probably the largest collection of Samurai armor and weapons, as well as other artifacts, that I have seen anywhere in the world. If you are a fan of those historical figures, then don’t miss this collection.
They have free lockers, several restroom, and a gift shop.
Entrance fee is about $10 for adults.

Generally pretty modest exhibitions, the only compensation - pretty cool exhibition with samurai with lots of dresses
Only one floor space is dedicated to Norwegian history. Nevertheless, the Vikingr exhibit has some of the unique artifacts on Vikingr and Rune Stone.
Half of the Building is closed and the second one almost empty. The exhibition is chaotic, shallow and weirdly displayed. You can walk through in 10 minutes…
Me and my two children went here yesterday and enjoyed it greatly. The prices for adults and students are affordable and kids are free. The actual expositions and artifacts are all interesting and thought-provoking. The samurai section especially was both informative and interesting to look at. Not to mention the Viking section containing rare ancient artifacts which were amazing to look at. Besides the actual museum, the museum shop was also full of interesting books and trinkets. Overall a great experience.
It's included in the Oslo Pass. The museum has a nice selection of things on display, put felt a bit sterile and soulless. The best part was the Samurai exhibition. Staff was really friendly and helpful.
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. However, I deduct 1 point because of the amount of noise from kids messing about. I had expected that the staff would tell them to stop messing and running in the place just to keep the noise down. But that didn't happen.
