Nobel Peace Center - Vestbane
Situated in an old train station from 1872 in downtown Oslo, the Nobel Peace Center lies right next to the City Hall, where the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony takes place.Changing exhibitions, intriguing digital solutions as well as inspiring films and lectures make for a varied and magical experience. You will find us in Rådhusplassen, in the heart of Oslo.
The Nobel Peace Center was opened by King Harald on 11 June 2005. A total of seven representatives from the royal houses of Norway and Sweden attended the opening ceremony, which was part of the official programme of events to mark Norway's centenary as an independent country.
At the opening ceremony, the 2004 Peace Prize laureate, Wangari Maathai, said: "As you walk though the halls of this Center and reflect on the men and women who have been honoured over the years, you will see your own thoughts, dreams and aspirations. Indeed a part of all of us is reflected here. As you see the challenges and opportunities, you too will be inspired to take action to make your world a more peaceful place."
