The National Museum of Contemporary Art was established in 1987 in the building that previously housed the Bank of Norway. This museum focuses purely on art from the past 50 years. Every 25 years, the oldest part of the collection is transferred to the National Gallery. The exhibitions consist of work both from the museum's own collections and from visiting shows. There is a museum shop and a café.
