The Nobel Peace Center, located in the historic Oslo West railway station building, was inaugurated in 2005 by His Majesty King Harald V of Norway in the presence of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Wangari Maathai and the royal families of Norway and Canada. Today, the center is one of Norway’s most visited museums, welcoming around 250,000 visitors annually.

The Center, designed by British architect David Adjaye and hi-tech installations by American designer David Small, is financed by private sponsors, admission fees, and the Norwegian Ministry of Culture. The Center showcases the Nobel Peace Prize laureates and their work, as well as Alfred Nobel’s life story and other Nobel prizes, through interactive technology, exhibitions, debates, theater, concerts, conferences, and educational programs.
