Later, for 60 years after 1319, the King of Norway lived in Akershus Castle. Haakon VI once used this place as his royal residence, and now we see Akershus Castle is no longer just a military fortress, probably in the early 17th century, Christine IV invited the famous architect hans Stingvinko to carry out a large-scale expansion and decoration of Akershus Castle, and now we see a combination of a solid fortress and a gorgeous palace.

Nobel Peace Center
The Nobel Peace Centre was built in 2005 and is located on a square on the side of Oslo City Hall, facing the harbour. The Nobel Peace Prize ceremony is held here every year on December 10, and December 10 is chosen to commemorate Nobel. The Nobel Peace Center mainly introduces two aspects, on the one hand, the relevant information about Norbe, and on the other hand, the introduction of nobel peace prize winners over the years.
The Nobel Center is much smaller than the Nobel Museum in Sweden, but in fact, this center is mainly about the Nobel Peace Prize. There are still many scientific and technological elements in the exhibition hall, such as those machines that automatically sense and then automatically display, Nobel's introduction is hidden in a blank book, through the overhead projection to display content, and simulate page turning, as well as interactive experience and other functions. The windows of the exhibition hall are also highlights, decorated with stickers on the heads of previous Peace Prize winners.
Nobel was a Swedish chemist because he improved explosives, then entered the military industry and became an upstart. Nobel remained unmarried and childless, and later, on the verge of death, he left a will and set up various awards with his own property, five of which were physics, chemistry, physiology/medicine, literature, and equality.
It should be noted that only the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded at the Nobel Center in Oslo, and the rest were awarded in Sweden. Because Nobel did not set up a mathematics prize, it was previously circulated on the Internet that it was because Nobel's wife had an affair with a mathematician, so Nobel hated mathematicians, so there was no mathematical prize, in fact, it was all rumors and had no factual basis.
We can still hear about a Nobel Prize in Economics, which was not established on Nobel's own will, but more than 50 years after his death, the Riksbank established it, mainly in honor of Nobel.
Entrance fees: NOK 80 for adults and NOK 55 for students.
Opening hours 10:00-18:00.
