Six Finalists Selected for New National Museum in Oslo

In late March of 2009, the Norwegian Ministry of Culture and Church Affairs announced an open international planning and design competition to initiate the planning of a new, collective building complex to house the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design on the site of the old Railway Station West, Vestbanen, in Oslo.

Since June, the jury has rated 237 contributions and today announced the six finalist proposals to allowed to stage 2 of the competition. The final winner will be selected from these and announced in March 2010.

The architects behind the shortlisted designs are still not made public. Also the next phase of the competition will be implemented in full anonymity as regulations require.
