The end area by Aker Brygge is called Tjuvholmen and it is still under construction. Tjuvholmen is referred to as Oslo´s art district and there are some some galleries open there, with much more in the near future.
There is a big museum here, where the Astrup Fearnley collection is housed. The museum building is in the shape of a ship on shore. This is the most prominent building on Tjuvholmen. Beside the museum a sculpture garden was being constructed when I last visited in May 2013. It looked very interesting and I followed how more and more statues were being put up there.
In the autumn of 2012 "Tárnet" - The Tower was opened. It is a 70 meters high spiral tower with a great view of Oslo. I was reading an interview in one Norwegian newspaper, where they expect Tárnet to be one of the biggest tourist attractions in Oslo.
This area will be one of the most expensive in Oslo.
"Tjuv" actually means thief in Norwegian, as here thiefs and criminals used to hang out, so Tjuvholmen means literally The Thief island.
Directions: Next to Aker Brygge, the furthest point, accessible by a bridge from Aker Brygge.

Interesting, the city Of Oslo
Maybe some day I go.
Yes, there are so many museums here and stuff to do - if you go there, do so in the summer time :)
I will come back later to see what to do now I have read the other pages.
