About the National Museum of Norway
The National Museum, called Nasjonalmuseet in Norwegian, is in Oslo, Norway, and its full official name also mentions art, architecture and design. It looks after the Norwegian state's public collections of art, architecture and design. Together they come to over 400,000 works, including the first copy of The Scream, from 1893, by Edvard Munch. The Norwegian Ministry of Culture manages the museum, which belongs to the state.
The museum was established in 2003 by merging earlier museums: the National Gallery of Norway and the Museum of Contemporary Art, along with the architecture museum, the industrial art museum, and the decorative arts and design museum. Setting it up required a cohesive new building, since the facilities of the earlier museums had all been judged too small.
In spring 2008 the government decided to locate the new building at Vestbanen, where the old Oslo West Station stood at Aker Brygge. Kleihues + Schuwerk, a German architecture company, won the international architecture competition in November 2010 with its project Forum Artis. The new building at Vestbanen, in the center of Oslo, opened in June 2022 and houses the entirety of the collections from the earlier museums.

- Stepped flat roofs
- The roof steps down in several flat tiers with narrow window strips along the walls. Layers of 0.12–0.16 mm keep the steps crisp, and a bigger print size keeps the window strips readable.
- Low, wide, and plain
- The building is low and wide, with no tall thin parts. Print friendly adapts the small window openings to the print scale, while Full detail keeps them on a larger print.
- One piece with the ground
- The National Museum of Norway is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
- Pick the detail for your nozzle
- In the Buildings settings, set Landmark detail to Print friendly to adapt thin parts and small details to the print scale. Full detail keeps every modeled feature, for larger prints or a finer nozzle.
- Colors
- Buildings, roads, water and ground arrive as separate filament slots in the 3MF. The National Museum of Norway takes the building color.
- File format
- You get a 3MF for Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer or PrusaSlicer. Any of them can save it as STL if you need one.
