At the very tip of Tjuvholmen you'll find one of the city's finest buildings, mirrored in the Oslo fjord: The Astrup Fearnley Museum, a private museum for contemporary art. The building was designed by the world-renowned architect Renzo Piano and is a work of art in itself. Oh, aren't we lucky!
The museum shows changing exhibitions of leading international and Norwegian contemporary art and houses the Astrup Fearnley Collection, one of Norway's most important and extensive private art collections. Here you can see iconic works such as Jeff Koons' giant porcelain figure of Michael Jackson and Bubbles and Anselm Kiefer's remarkable lead bookshelf, The High Priestess/Zweistromland.
The museum really wants to make art accessible, so if you'd like to understand more about contemporary art, just grab one of the museum hosts who are present in the exhibition spaces. Ask away – no question is too silly! And enjoy the art!
It's just a short walk from Oslo City Hall and Aker Brygge, along the harbour promenade, out to the museum, which is surrounded by the Tjuvholmen sculpture park (in summer you can also enjoy the sandy beach right behind the museum).
After a round among the artworks, it's tempting to stop by the museum shop, or sit down with a view of the fjord in the museum café. Astrup Fearnley Museet works just as well for the seasoned art lover as for someone who has never set foot in a contemporary art museum before.
