Old Aker Church
The church was built over the former site of the Akerberg mines ("Akersberg gruve"), an ancient silver mine which was in use since the early Viking era. The mines are mentioned in the 1170 "Historia Norvegiae". The existence of these former mines must have been the inspiration for a number of local stories about the church having hidden silver treasures and even dungeons with dragons.
Old Aker Cemetery () is the cemetery of Old Aker Church. Like the church, the cemetery dates back to the Middle Ages. The cemetery is located adjacent to the newer Cemetery of Our Saviour, which was established in 1808. Several notable people are interred in the cemetery.
Oslo Museum
The Theatre Museum acquired new premises in the former town hall of Christiania, Gamle rådhus, under the support for semi-public museums with grants from Oslo. Meanwhile, the museum had a temporary exhibitions in Oslo's information center in 1975, "Teatermuseet i seneste laget". Author and playwright Carl Fredrik Engelstad took over as chairman. After a fire on 5 May 1996, Teatermuseet was closed but regained a new location at Rådmannsgården in 1997. By the end of 2010 Oslo Museum discontinued their tenancy in Gamle rådhus for economic reasons. In 2008 a new theatre historical exhibition opened in the Oslo City Museum east wing, entitled "I rampelyset – scenekunst i Oslo frem til i dag". The exhibition examines the main features and highlights of Oslo's theater and performing arts history, ranging from the early theaters, opera and ballet, to music halls.
The Intercultural Museum, formerly the International Cultural Center and Museum, is located in Grønland Culture Station at Tøyenbekken 5 in Oslo. The museum was started in 1990 by Bente Guro Møller and works to promote understanding and respect for cultural diversity. On the ground floor the museum has a permanent exhibition focusing on immigration history and cultural changes in Norwegian society. The gallery exhibits topical art from artists with immigrant backgrounds. In addition, the museum organizes seminars, concerts, lectures and discussion evenings.
In 1999 the museum moved to Grønland Culture Station and the old prison cells were converted into a museum. The house includes an art gallery, concert hall, seminar rooms, and a culture workshop.
The Labour Museum opened during June 2013 in Apotekergarden at Sagveien 28 in the district of Sagene. The museum shows the industrial and work history of the industrial areas along the Akerselva, which was important in the development of Norwegian industry from the 1840s.
