Henrik Ibsen's apartment, where the famous Norwegian author lived from 1895 until his death in 1906, has now been restored and turned into a museum. His study contains original furniture and belongings, and the rest of the apartment has been restored to its original appearance. Throughout the year, the museum arranges lectures and theatrical performances with a new programme every spring and autumn. There are also temporary exhibitions. Admission fees: adults NOK30; children NOK10. Fees for special events vary.

Norwegian Nobel Committee Building

Handsome building housing the Nobel committee Drammensveien 19
Oslo 0255
Norway
+47 22 12 9300
http://www.nobel.no This handsome building on Drammensveien near the Royal Palace is the home of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Every year the Committee selects a Peace Prize winner, based on the criteria that Alfred Nobel (the Swede who left a fund for an annual Peace Prize) specified in his will. Up to 1946, the Peace Prize was awarded at the Institute, but today, the award ceremony takes place in Oslo's Town Hall. The ceremony takes place on 10 December every year, to mark the day of Alfred Nobel's death in 1896.
