About the museum
Tegneseriemuseet was founded in 1996 by Norsk Tegneserieforum (Norwegian Comics Forum) and is based on the collections of Tegneserieakademiet (1970) and Det nasjonale Tegneseriearkivet (the Sproing archive from 1986). It opened as Tegneseriegalleriet in Oslo on 1 July 1996 and was given the name Tegneseriemuseet i Norge in 1997. The collection is supplemented every year with most new comic publications in Norway.
Today the museum is housed in the former newspaper building Hadelandsgården in Brandbu, where it is a department of Riksmuseene AS together with, among others, Lekemuseet, Modelljernbanemuseet and Radiomuseet. The permanent exhibition has over a hundred comic originals by Norwegian and foreign artists, 777 Norwegian comics in glass cases and about 2,000 objects connected to the comic medium.
Ten rooms bring well-known comic characters to life, including Skrue McDuck's office, Pirayaklubben, Petter Smarts verksted (workshop), the Phantom's skull cave (Fantomets hodeskallegrotte), a Western corner and Sumpleiren. The museum also has a drawing room with drawing tables where visitors can draw well-known characters.
