Norwegian Resistance Museum

Norway's Resistance Museum was founded by several key figures from the organisations that made up the resistance, both civilian and military. Their aim was to strengthen the collective will to defend national freedom and to promote continued support for our democratic values.

At the top of Akershus Fortress, you’ll find the museum, which has been operated by the Norwegian Armed Forces since 1995. The museum’s mission is to enhance knowledge of the occupation period by collecting, preserving, and presenting objects, photographs, and documents. Through its impressive archive collection, the museum documents the history of the resistance from 1940 to 1945 – a story that still carries important lessons for our time.
