Nobel Peace Center on Postcard

"The Nobel Peace Center was opened in 2005 and is absolutely fascinating…and very humbling. It was established by Alfred Nobel (who was Swedish) in his will. He gave no reason for this but some feel it was to assuage his guilt over being the inventor of dynamite. The Nobel Peace Center is divided into 3 main areas (main exhibits; current Nobel Peace Prize winners; former Nobel Peace Prize winners) with various other smaller exhibits. You can find the Nobel Peace Center at Brynjulf Bulls Plass 1 in Oslo , Norway (situated in the old train station, in the heart of Oslo between Oslo City Hall and the shopping areas at Aker Brygge).

I visited the Nobel Peace Center this afternoon and, while I didn’t go inside, the experience was still remarkable! The center’s exterior is beautiful and steeped in history, located in a prime spot near Aker Brygge and the Oslo waterfront. It’s a peaceful area to walk around, especially in the winter months. The snowy surroundings and the stunning January sunlight made the visit feel magical. The combination of Oslo’s serene winter atmosphere and the meaningful symbolism of the Peace Center is truly special. The location is easy to access and well-connected by public transport, with trams and buses stopping close by. Even if you don’t enter the center, the area itself is worth exploring. You can enjoy the vibrant waterfront, take a leisurely stroll, or sit down at one of the nearby cafés. The building and its surroundings are perfect for photos, especially if you love capturing Oslo’s mix of modern and historic charm. For anyone planning a visit, I’d recommend checking their website for opening hours and exhibit details—it’s on my list to visit the next time! A peaceful and inspiring place to visit, even just to reflect outside.

A very interesting place. Has the story of the Prizes in a very interactive way, excellent for kids. Also shows all the sadness behind the prizes 😔. I really loved it.

Everyone should visit this museum and take a guided tour. Was here with a group and had a fantastic experience. Our guide was personable and very knowledgeable about the center despite being one of the newer guides... I wish I could remember his name... he really made it a great experience. The museum was a great combo of physical displays paired with projector elements and audio accompaniment. The Hiroshima-focused exhibit upstairs was moving and so well-done. Even the gift shop is superb... local products as well as items supporting small makers and change makers.

I’ve been a couple of times but never reviewed it. It’s a decent sized museum where you don’t need to much time. The Nobel exhibition is very interesting and the current Echo Chamber and Yoko Ono exhibitions are very good too.

Super interesting place with many inspiring stories and plenty of facts I had no idea about within its walls. There is a collection of artworks currently on display in many mediums by Yoko Ono, which has the messages of peace, not war and freedom from oppression at their core, so I would definitely recommend a visit very soon if you're in Oslo.

The Nobel Peace Center was a delightful experience. Though not very large, the museum was quite informative and interesting, with numerous interactive displays that engaged and educated visitors. It surpassed my expectations, especially compared to the one in Stockholm. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the history of the Nobel Peace Prize and its laureates.
