Henie Onstad

Fodor's choice

Some consider it the MoMA of Oslofjord, this impressive contemporary museum houses Norway’s largest collection of international modern art. After skater Sonja Henie married shipping magnate Niels Onstad, they began to put together a collection of early-20th-century art, including important works by Munch, Picasso, Bonnard, and Matisse, and a permanent pumpkin infinity room from Japanese heavyweight Yayoi Kusama. The ultramodern, minimalist building, designed by Norwegian architects Jon Eikvar and Sven Erik Engebretsen, stands out impressively beside the scenic Oslofjord. There's also a sculpture park, a children's play area, and a well-regarded restaurant on-site.
