Mathallen Food Hall
Where Oslo chefs shop on their days off
Mathallen opened in 2012 inside a converted industrial building at Vulkan, a former factory district along the Akerselva river. The concept was straightforward: bring Norway’s best small food producers under one roof. It worked. Today, over 30 vendors sell everything from aged Norwegian cheeses to Arctic char, from fresh-baked sourdough to single-origin coffee.

Munch Museum
26,000 works by Edvard Munch in a 13-storey tower on the waterfront
Munch donated his entire collection to the city of Oslo when he died in 1944. For decades, the works were housed in a modest building in Tøyen. The new museum, designed by Estudio Herreros, opened in October 2021 on the Bjørvika waterfront — the same harbour district as the Oslo Opera House.
