Oslo City Museum - Oslo Bymuseet

Oslo Museum (Oslo Bymuseet) is a museum dedicated to the history and culture of Oslo, Norway. The museum is based at Frogner Manor in Frogner Park, along with two of its departments; Oslo City Museum and Theater Museum.

It was formed in 2006 from the merger of the Oslo City Museum (Oslo Bymuseum), the Intercultural Museum (Interkulturelt Museum) and the Theater Museum (Teatermuseet), which are now departments within the Oslo Museum. A fourth museum, the Museum of Labor (Arbeidermuseet), joined in 2013.

The Oslo City Museum, the Intercultural Museum and the Theater Museum have joined forces to create the new museum as a result of the reform of the State Museum. The new founding of the museum functioned under the working title "Museum of the capital", but since December 2006 it has adopted the name "Oslo Museum".

The Oslo City Museum was first founded in 1905 as a Foreningen Det gamle Christiania association. Initiator and curator until 1912 was the architect Fritz Holland (1874-1959). Members of the committee included Oslo bishop Anton Christian Bang, architects Torolf Prytz and Harald Olsen, artist Eilif Peterssen, and military officer Thomas Heftye.

The museum moved to the main building at Frogner Manor in 1909. Stian Herlofsen Finne-Grønn (1869–1963) became curator of this organization in 1912 and was the director from 1920 to 1949.
