History

The museum was created on the initiative of Lorentz Dietrichson and Nicolay Nicolaysen. It was established in 1876 as one of the first of its kind in Europe. The first director was Henrik A. Grosch (1848-1929), nephew of the noted architect Christian Heinrich Grosch. The museum is located at St. Olavsgate 1 in Oslo. Since 1904 it has been located with the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in a building designed by Adolf Bredo Greve (1871-1931) and Ingvar M. O. Hjorth (1862-1927).[2][3][4][5]
