2 Best Sights in Bærum, Oslofjord

Considered by some the MoMA of Oslofjord, this impressive contemporary museum houses a large 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 and a well-regarded restaurant on-site. Every Sunday, the museum’s enthusiastic staff invite kids to let their creativity flow and make their own art in The Lab.

Enjoy art and shopping in a historic setting that features 33 outdoor sculptures by top Norwegian artists, plus 50 shops, artisans' workshops, galleries, and places to eat.
