The Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (Norwegian: Norsk institutt for kulturminneforskning, NIKU) is a cultural heritage research institute based in Oslo, Norway.

The institute has nearly 80 employees and regional offices in Bergen, Trondheim, Tønsberg and Tromsø.[1] Following a restructuring in 2014 it consists of 7 research departments:[2]

  • Archaeological Excavations
  • Digital Documentation
  • Conservation
  • Buildings
  • Urbanism and Planning
  • Policy, Management and Society
  • High North

The chair is Knut Grøholt and the deputy chair is Berit Skarholt.[3] The current director general is Carsten Paludan-Müller.

NIKU was created in 1994 as a split from the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage.[1] From 1994 to 2003, the institute shared board of directors with the Norwegian Institute for Nature Research under the moniker NINA•NIKU.[4]
