The project explores the possibilities of moving the Nobel Peace Center into the listed bank building that was designed as a stronghold to secure the Norwegian National Treasury. The activity of the much visited Nobel Peace Center spans from exhibitions to conferences. In order to provide better accessibility, the building’s east facade is opened up towards a new public square and a new entrance space is established in one of the former light wells of the old structure.
