It is so important issue related to Nobel peace price and people who received it. Thus this very small place with limited exhibition was for me very disappointing. Would expect more from Oslo. Especially for 15 Usd they ask for entrance

The Center is worth visiting. On our visit, the exhibits on Afghanistan (local perspective and from that of the military) were thought provoking and sobering. The Peace prize winners are amazing and the center showcases them in unique ways. There are some fun ways to participate and overall it is a very special place.

A fantastic experience. Got the opportunity to visit the place for four times and every time I rediscovered myself.

Infromative, good and everything you'd expect. Although you can say what you want about the peace prize these days, I'd say give this museum a go.

If you have spare time, why not see this place. It has good informative and interesting photo exhibitions. This time it was on Afghanistan, both on the locals and the US military.

This museum is all about the Nobel Peace Prize, with information presented in a range of different ways. The ground floor was devoted to a photography exhibition, which isn't so relevant but worth a look. If you are short of time, skip this and head upstairs to the real exhibition. The first few rooms are devoted to a display about... More

Im a Norwegian myself and guided many visiting friends around town. I always take them here.. Not because it says so much about Norway, but because its a great GLOBAL museum, reminding us about the importance to struggle for world peace. Interesting exhibitions, also for kids!

This is a fantastic home for the Nobel Peace prize and "movement". Unprepossessing on the outside but thought provoking and challenging within. Spoilt only by the ugly "installation" outside the front door. Well worth spending a couple of hours inside.

If not - the building is nice, instead spend some more time on the fresh air at Aker Brygge or visit the Rådhus - more interesting

We went to the Nobel Peace Center because it was included in the Oslo Pass and it was open til 6 when everything else closed at 5. Even though we didn't "pay" for it, still pretty unsatisfying for us. We did not find the presentations to be particularly engaging for the casual observer. The place is more like a reference...
