Why Nobel Peace Center matters
The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo every year, and this centre tells the stories of its laureates and the causes they fought for. Exhibits use film, photography and interactive displays to show how peacemakers worked, often in difficult conditions. It sits by the harbour in the old railway station building, making it easy to combine with a waterfront walk.
Talking points
- The peace prize is awarded in Oslo each December.
- Exhibits cover the stories of laureates.
- The building was a railway station.
