Norwegian National Academy of Fine Arts

Although now a faculty of KHiO, the Norwegian National Academy of the Arts is still referred to simply as Kunstakademiet (lit.

It moved to better premises in the Merchant Building on Drammensveien in central Oslo during 1919, and a special drawing office at the rear of the Kunstnernes Hus in 1930.

From 1935 to 1940, the Danish painter and architect Georg Jacobsen worked in an extraordinary professorship in art construction and composition teaching.

In 1941, the collaborationist Quisling regime called for new arrangements of the academy and added painter and Nasjonal Samling party member Søren Onsager as a professor.

In August 2010 all the schools physically merged into a new building in a former sail factory, Christiania Seildugsfabrik [no], in Grünerløkka, on the east side of Oslo.
