The museum building
The National Museum – Architecture is a destination in itself. The museum building is a combination of classicism and modernism – a meeting between Christian Heinrich Grosch (1801–1865) and Sverre Fehn (1924–2009), two central architects in Norwegian art history.
About the National Museum – Architecture's collection:
- The collection includes drawings and photographic documentation, models and other objects.
- This is Norway's largest architecture collection and consists of more than 300,000 artefacts, dating from the 1830's and up until today.
- Important architects whose works are in the collection are: Ove Bang, Blakstad & Munthe-Kaas, Wenche Selmer, Jan & Jon, Knut Knutsen, Arne Korsmo, Christian Norberg-Schulz, Magnus Poulsson, Erling Viksjø and Sverre Fehn.
