Henie Onstad Art Centre
Baby-friendly guided tours (in Norwegian) take place the first Wednesday of every month at 13.00. Prams can be brought into the exhibition halls. The tours are for babies and children up to 2 years of age and their parents. Because the children are so small, these tours have a loose form, and there is no registration. Parents meet on Wednesdays at the reception and we visit an exhibition at a pace determined by the babies.
The tours are included in the entrance fee and guided by the museum´s Outreach coordinator Ellen Marie Fodstad.
See here for the 2013 programme. Arrival by bus 151 to Rykkin from the Bus terminal, National Theatre and other places. Get off at Høvikodden.
