Detail from the entrance to the Clock Building at NMBU in Ås. The university is full of exciting landmarks that you can take part in by joining one of our tours.

Past and future

We look at the history of Norway's first agricultural college, later a university, and the role this institution played in the modernization of Norway, from the 1850s to the present day. Today, the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (NMBU) is in the midst of a major expansion process. We take a closer look at the expansion, which will cost over NOK 7 billion and will be completed in 2019.

Garden and art walk

We will also look at monumental architecture and a beautiful neoclassical garden with many interesting trees and plantings. We can also have our own art walk in the newly restored Ur building, with many interesting modern artworks adapted to the building.
