About Villa Stenersen

Villa Stenersen in Oslo was designed between 1937 and 1939 by the architect Arne Korsmo for the financier and art collector Rolf E. Stenersen. The house was meant to serve both as a home and as a gallery for Stenersen's large art collection, and it is considered one of the main works of Norwegian functionalist architecture; it is the only Norwegian member of the Iconic Houses network. Stenersen left the villa to the state in his will, and it is now owned by Statsbygg and the National Museum, which runs it as one of its locations.

The work is led by Statsbygg in collaboration with the National Museum and the Stenersen family, and includes the technical infrastructure, colours and surfaces as well as the return of period furniture from Stenersen's time, including Korsmo's custom-made pieces. The National Museum has not published a reopening date; check its website before planning a visit, and see the National Museum's other locations in the meantime.
