    Very good location for small kids. Lots of paintings, collages and activities and games that will keep kids entertained for a couple of hours. It was a bit cold, but I guess that's cause it was early morning.

    Very nice small museum with art of children and teenager from all around the world. Some pieces are quite dark and sad, if you think about the circumstances that’ll make children draw such pictures. But a lot of are very cheerful and happy. Taking pictures inside is not allowed to protect the copyrights of the children. The staff is very friendly and open to questions. Smaller children may not be very interested in the art but there are some stations where they can play. If you happen to be in the area I’d highly recommend to visit it.

    Not a bad place to take the kids when you’re short of ideas. Location is a bit tricky to get to if you don’t have a car, but when you’re there it is a nice place. Staff working there are very nice and helpful. It might be a little while before I return, but I recommend people with art-minded kids to take a visit and see how you go.

    Very charming place. Lots of stairs make it not very suitable for strollers or wheelchairs.

    Dieses Museum ist in Oslo ein wirklicher geheim Tipp. D Wie der Name schon sagt findet man dort Kunst von Kindern jeden Alters und aus sehrvielen verschiedenen Ländern. Diese ist sehr schön und zeigt, daß auch Kids wirklich was auf den Kasten haben. Was aber bei diesem Museum ebenfalls etwas ganz besonderes ist, ist das Gebäude in welchem sich das Museum befindet. Sehr liebevoll gemacht mit einem besonderen Charme. Wer gerne auch abseits der Museen unterwegs sein möchte, dem kann ich dieses Museum sehr empfehlen. 5 /5 Sterne und eine absolute Empfehlung!

    Wonderful museum. However, the temporary exhibition by the artist (activist?) from Azerbaïdjan was disturbing. It was related to the 2020 war against Armenia and sounded and looked like Azeri / Turkish propaganda. How could a children’s museum host such a political exhibit? Who is really behind it?

    Fascinating to see all the creativity of children gathered in one place. Worth a visit 😊

  • 4/5 Giuseppe P. 5 years ago on Google
    It's very interesting for kids and adults to spend two hours here. Children find interactive boards and drawing tables. Adults can see all the world trough children eyes. Amazing.

  • 5/5 Ketan J. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic - the artworks are really well done and inspiring and there's plenty of kids stuff in each room to keep little ones entertained (we went with a 1 year old). Must visit!

    super crative place! awesom kids art! magic with coloures everywhere! u can't see nothing similar in Oslo. Fun for small and big kids.

  • 5/5 Anastasia K. 3 years ago on Google
    We had a very nice experience. We spent at least 1 hour with a kid 15 months old and this means a lot. We’ll be happy to return for the future events. But apart from this the art collection is very good.
