The Norwegian Museum of Contemporary Art was established in 1988 with works received from the National Gallery of Norway and opened in 1990 as a museum for art produced after World War II. In 1992, the National Touring Exhibition was separated as an independent entity. The building, designed by architect Ingvar Hjorth, was formerly used by Norges Bank. Former directors of the museum were Jan Brockmann and Per Bjarne Boym.
