Nasjonalgalleriet
Nasjonalgalleriet is an art gallery in Oslo, Norway, connected with the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design. Its collection brings Norwegian and European paintings, sculptures, and other works together across several artistic periods. The wheelchair-accessible setting belongs to Oslo’s architecture and cultural landscape.
Founded in 1842, the gallery first occupied rooms in the Royal Palace before receiving its own building in 1882. Heinrich Ernst and Adolf Schirmer designed that museum building, which shaped the gallery’s home for generations. In 2022, the collection moved to a new harbour-front building in the Fjordbyen development, while architecture remained separate.
Edvard Munch appears here with The Scream and a version of Madonna, alongside works by Monet and Picasso. Norwegian artists include Johan Christian Claussen Dahl, Erik Werenskiold, Christian Krohg, Harriet Backer, and Hans Gude. Old Master paintings include works by El Greco, Artemisia Gentileschi, Jan van Goyen, and Lucas Cranach the Elder.
