Over 4,500 plant types from around the world. Thematic gardens, including two greenhouses.
Botanical Garden – a living museum
The garden is used actively in education, outreach and research at the museum. The plants are both grown in green houses and in the thematic gardens outside. The Botanical Garden conveys knowledge about the diversity of the plant kingdom and the importance of conserving it. Norwegian plants that are considered threatened and vulnerable are also kept in the garden. The Botanical Garden serves as an important recreational area in Oslo.
Explore the thematic gardens
All the plants are divided into thematic gardens, including our two greenhouses The Victoria House and The Palm House.

Trees in the Botanical Garden
The Botanical Garden has a botanical purpose and is not a regular park. This means that the consideration for the plants, botany, and nature outweighs everything else.
