The Norwegian Center for Holocaust and Minority Studies is a research, education and documentation center in Oslo focusing on the Holocaust, other genocides, extremism, antisemitisim, hate speech, and the situation of minorities in contemporary societies. The Center is open between 10 am and 6 pm every day. Cafe Villa Grande is open Tuesday-Sunday between 11 am and 5.30 pm.
Walking up the avenue towards Villa Grande, on the right side of the building you will see the center's new wing MINO, designed by Transborder Studio. The annex is currently housing the exhibit IN/VISIBLE - Everyday racism in Norway.
As always, you will find our beautiful garden with a path leading to the popular public beach Huk. You are welcome to take a break on the benches by the entrance and in the garden on the back side of the building.
You can also make a stop by the interesting piece of art work, Innocent Questions, on the façade of the building. The installation artist Arnold Dreyblatt has used an oversized punch card, focusing both on the Holocaust and current questions, to raise awareness of the violation of personal rights.
Opening hours:
10 am - 6 pm Monday-Sunday
