Nobel Peace Center

Nobel Peace Center

The Nobel Peace Center (Nobels Fredssenter) was established on June 11, 2005, and was converted from an old railway station built in 1872 near Oslo City Hall. It was built with the purpose of promoting world peace and raising awareness about war and conflict resolution. The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is held here every year on December 10, chosen to commemorate the death of the great Mr. Alfred Bernhard Nobel.

The creative design of the Nobel Peace Center, including the overall color scheme of the building, was overseen by British architect David Adjaye, while the high-tech installations were developed by American designer David Small. The Nobel Peace Center is funded through Norway’s Ministry of Culture, private donations, and ticket sales, and also hosts a variety of temporary exhibitions.

The Nobel Peace Center showcases materials related to all past Nobel Peace Prize laureates as well as information about Alfred Bernhard Nobel. In addition, the center serves multiple purposes and can be used for lectures, conferences, exhibitions, and more. It also has a café and a shop, making it one of the must-visit attractions for travelers to Oslo.
