Permanent Exhibition 'The Public Conversation about 22 July'
The permanent exhibition 'The Public Conversation on 22 July' forms the core of this Oslo centre, dedicated to commemorating the 2011 attacks. It presents a detailed timeline and seven personal accounts from that day, combining factual information with individual stories and artefacts. Interactive screens and multimedia presentations create an educational and moving experience that honours those affected by the tragedy.
Intact Wing of Høyblokken (with Bomb Scars)
The western wing of Høyblokken stands unrestored, preserving its original condition and the scarring from the 22 July 2011 bombing. Part of the new 22 July Centre, this building offers visitors a direct and authentic encounter with the physical remains of the attack. What to see here are the bomb blast marks etched into the structure itself—a sobering testament to that day's events.
Entrance Pavilion at Johan Nygaardsvolds Plass
The entrance pavilion at Johan Nygaardsvolds plass marks the threshold to the 22 July Centre, welcoming visitors as they enter the complex. This architectural feature guides visitors from the public plaza into the centre's interior spaces, leading down to the reception and exhibition areas located underground. What to see here is the carefully designed transition between the outdoor plaza and the centre's subterranean galleries.
Upholding – Escultura de Matías Faldbakken
Upholding is a monumental sculpture by Norwegian artist Matías Faldbakken, situated in the plaza facing the Høyblokken building. It serves as a national memorial to the attacks of 22 July 2011. The work physically connects the two attack sites—the government quarter in Oslo and the island of Utøya—through a repurposed steel structure and a substantial stone mosaic. This striking installation honours those affected by the tragedy.
