The Home Front Museum, call the Museum of Resistance in English is very informative, as with all the Oslo museums it is brimming with content belied by it's small building. It shows the strength of the Norwegian people in the face of invasion and occupation by the Germans in WWII. No where else have I read of such an impressive resistance as an entire people, saying that I do not mean to lessen the efforts of all other areas/counties who resisted, but the Norwegians basically just said no to the Germans at every opportunity and many times got them to back off. This started immediately when the traitor Quisling tried to take over the country. Their resourcefulness and strength to live with little resources in tough conditions during various parts of the war, especially when the Allies chose Africa for the second front over Scandinavia is a testament to their spirit and thirst to maintain their freedom. 1000% worth visiting, overall I don't think I've seen better presented museums than in Oslo and this one covers a history we cannot forget.

Informative, with numerous displays and materiel. A good deal of English translation for displays and items of interest. Have known a certain amount about Norway during the Nazi occupation. But, wow, so much more! Courage, determination and endurance.
