Welcome to our event venue Gjestestuene
Located at the Norwegian Museum of Cultural Heritage, Gjestestuene is an event venue on the Bygdøy peninsula of Oslo, approximately 3 km from the city center. The venue is used for all kinds of occasions. We arrange gala dinners and conferences, birthday parties and romantic weddings.
Hire Gjestestuene to showcase Norwegian folklore and culture
Gjestestuene itself is a 100 year old building in traditional style, designed by a famous Norwegian architect, Magnus Paulsson. Four rooms on two floors make up the venue. You can rent the whole building and organize a totally exclusive event, or you can hire just a single room.

Gjestestuene is served by our modern in-house kitchen TG Catering. The kitchen provides all food and drink served at our premises. 
There is free parking for 20 cars or even a coach at our private parking area. Bus 30 Bygdøy takes about 15 minutes from the center of town (Rådhuset) and stops 150 meters from Gjestestuene.
In addition to Gjestestuene, we also manage a small event venue called Sæterhytten, also in Bygdøy. You see more information about Sæterhytten below.
