At the Oslo City Museum, you can find very interesting galleries dedicated to the development and significance of intercultural relations in the multinational environment of the capital in particular and Norway as a whole. These exhibitions are выделены in a separate Intercultural Museum.
The museum building is an old 18th-century mansion located in Frogner Park, which once served as the headquarters of the local police. The museum's interior design does not match the building's archaic exterior. The interiors are done in a contemporary style, and there is a large collection of bright sculptures and installations, photographs and paintings, and photo and video materials.
The main exhibition of the Intercultural Museum is called “Our Sacred Space,” where you can learn about six religious currents of Norwegian society: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism, and Buddhism. The accessibility of the way information is presented in the museum is quite debatable, approaching alternative art: viewers are seemingly invited to determine for themselves the significance of one element or another through form, color, and sound.
In addition to the main permanent exhibition, temporary exhibitions are regularly organized here, mainly dedicated to religious minorities. In addition to the exhibitions, the museum hosts various events during which visitors are told about world cultures — these include concerts and seminars, during which visitors can thoroughly explore cuisine, music, or painting.
