22 July Information Centre

The 22 July Information Centre (Norwegian: 22. juli-senteret) is a Norwegian governmental information centre dedicated to the 22 July 2011 terrorist attacks in Norway, in Oslo and at Utøya. The centre in Oslo, Norway was opened on 22 July 2015, at the ground floor of the H block of the Regjeringskvartalet (main government building). It is primarily intended to disseminate information regarding the terrorist attacks and the process of reconstructing a government building complex in Oslo.

Anders Behring Breivik's fake ID card, police badge and "crusader chain" he wore when he made his way to Utøya. These items that the police seized are all on display at the information centre. Breivik killed a total of 77 people on July 22, 2011 in Oslo and Utøya.
