One of Norway's largest and most important museums can be found in the modern district of Bjørvika.
The modern building, to which the museum moved in 2021, forms one of the landmarks of the waterfront and is located next to the famous Opera House.
To the south of the building, a sculpture called Moren (Mother), created by artist Tracey Emin in honour of Edvard Munch's mother, is located in a public park that is open free of charge.
