Noah WeissJuly 30, 2015One of my favorite modern art museums in the world, in a beautifully designed building by Renzo Piano along the water. Great permanent collection with famous Koons, Murakami, and and Hirst works.

Marie TApril 5, 2015Modern art in a modern building. Not fan of the temporary exhibition? The permanent one is worth the money alone! If names like Jeff Koons or Damien Hirst is new to you, then you need to go. Now!

Kelsey Gilbert-KreilingMarch 12, 2018Research the current exhibit. You might have seen a lot of the pieces in their collection, so decide if the main exhibit is worth seeing. Newly built, designed by Renzo Piano-Nice cafe for a sunny dayUpvote2Downvote

Gregory FisherAugust 21, 2018The building is special, so worth checking out, even if the museum is closed (Mon. and before 12/after 5). The art is not everyone’s cup of tea, but there are a few greats in the permanent collection.UpvoteDownvote
Lisa StarbucksMarch 4, 2018The exhibition and collection was ok. The building looks nicer from outside as well. Check out the weird elevator (you have to keep pressing the button). Not a most see in Oslo.

Brandon M.June 8, 2017just like the SF MOMA, the building architecture here is just as much the star as the artwork inside. plan to spend at least 2-3 hours inside and soak it all in (and the Wifi!)UpvoteDownvote
Chad DrakeMarch 15, 2013Best collection of modern Art I've seen in the one location. Props from the Cremaster series, works from Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Gilbert and George and a giant-ass Marakumi sculpture. AmazingUpvote3Downvote
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantJune 21, 2018Odd-shaped galleries but good shows- currently Dan Colen, Damien Hirst. Great location also right by the water.
