About this audio guide
This guide to the Nobel Peace Center in Oslo looks past the exhibitions to the building itself, an eighteen seventy-two railway terminus drawn by Norway's first railway architect. It follows the tunnel that left the station stranded, the years it stood empty, and the awkward brief handed to the British architect David Adjaye when parliament chose it for a peace museum. Start on the square outside, facing the arched windows.
