Norway's 90m euro (£73m US$116) contemporary art museum, the Astrup Fearnley
Museum in Oslo, has opened to the public.
The museum, designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano, is located on the edge of a fjord and is divided into two halves by water.
Renzo Piano's previous work includes Beyeler Museum in Basel, the extension of the Morgan Library in New York and the Shard in London.
The museum covers an area of 7,000sq m (7,530.sq ft) on the headland of the new waterfront district of Tjuvholmen, and is surrounded by many new galleries, restaurants and a hotel.
The building has a cafe and museum shop along with its own bathing beach and sculpture park stretching along the shores of the fjord.
It also incorporates a viewing tower to provide views across Oslo.
A collection of works by some of the world's most innovative artists will be on display, such as Jeff Koons, Cindy Sherman, Dan Colen and Bjarne Melgaard.
