About National Gallery of Norway

The National Gallery (Nasjonalgalleriet) is an art gallery in Oslo, established in 1842 following a parliamentary decision of 1836. It was first housed in the Royal Palace and received its own museum building in 1882, designed by Heinrich Ernst and Adolf Schirmer. Since 2003 it has been administratively part of the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design. The collection moved to the new National Museum building, which opened on 11 June 2022, and The Scream and the other highlights are now exhibited there.
