Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art
Astrup Fearnley Museet
A museum with a sail-shaped glass roof designed by Renzo Piano, at the tip of Tjuvholmen peninsula, collecting international contemporary art including works by Jeff Koons.
The Astrup Fearnley Museum moved in 2012 into a new building at the tip of Tjuvholmen peninsula. It was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano, and its curved glass roof reaches toward the fjord like a sail. The collection focuses on international contemporary art, including Jeff Koons' Michael Jackson and Bubbles and works by Damien Hirst. Outside are a free sculpture park and a small beach where you can swim in summer. Admission is about NOK 180, free with the Oslo Pass. It is closed on Mondays. It is about a 5-minute walk from Aker Brygge.
