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).

Stuff this day was not so friendly and nit helpful. Norwegian people are very nice and kindhearted usually,they are helpful and friendly.

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.

May24- a marvelous place and so much history. Learn about Nobel,and discover some winners you never knew and also some you did. The medal on display is wonderful to experience. As are some of the visiting exhibits. Yoko Ono exhibition is fascinating, and Narges Mohammadi also . Go see (Google review won't post pics of former even though it's art!)

This museum was a huge disappointment, mainly because it was so superficial and light on content. The first section, on Nobel and the history of the peace prize, gave a good overview. Upstairs, however, a hagiography of Yoko Ono gave way to a lightweight sketch of some of the previous laureates. They were presented on screens, several of which did not work, and the information was minimal. Notably, several people were just omitted, and rather than take the opportunity to engage with the question of why the peace prize has been given to controversial and manifestly unsuitable people (Henry Kissinger springs immediately to mind), and how it has been caught up in politics, the display opts for the easy option of a few facts about largely unproblematic candidates. There is also no explanation about how the committee chooses people, or why it has increasingly opted for organisations rather than individuals. The only real redeeming feature was the exhibition on the 2023 winner, Narges Mohammadi, and her struggle for women’s rights and freedom in Iran, which was good. This museum could be so much more interesting and informative, but sadly is very lightweight indeed.

Located right on the coast, the Nobel Peace Center features exhibitions on Alfred Nobel and the 2023 Nobel Prize winner Narges Mohammadi, who was recognized for her efforts in advocating for women’s freedom in Iran. The museum also showcases beautifully curated exhibits of other Peace Prize winners, including statesmen, diplomats, and individuals who have contributed significantly to world peace. Another highlight is the Golden Nobel Medal exhibit, featuring a 196-gram 18k gold medal. Additionally, there’s an exhibition on peace by Yoko Ono on the second floor. It’s a must-see museum.
