Entrance to the Stenersen Museum

The Stenersen Museum (Norwegian: Stenersenmuseet) is an art museum in Oslo, Norway at Munkedamsveien 15.

The museum shows both international and Norwegian art. The museum also houses three main art collections, donated to the Oslo municipality (and the former Aker municipality) by Rolf E. Stenersen, Amaldus Nielsen's heirs, and Ludvig O. Ravensberg. The collections were given in 1936, 1933, and 1972 respectively, but the museum did not open until 1994.[1]

In 2008 plans were finalized for the Stenersen Museum to relocate to Bjørvika and occupy a new building near the Oslo Opera House together with the Munch Museum.
