This is a privately owned contemporary art gallery in a nice building overlooking the waterfront of Oslo. It has collections from both Norwegian and international artists and hosts six or seven temporary exhibitions each year.
The unique feature of this museum is outdoor showers, in case someone jumps from their garden into the sea.
