The story behind the name

The reason behind the name, The Thief, is where it is located. Tjuvholmen (or THE THIEF’s islet) is an islet with a rich and interesting history. Back in the 1950’s the islet was nothing more than a bare grass plain. When thieves, robbers and bandits were caught for their mischief, they were isolated to this part of Oslo. Thieves were sent to hang here in the 1600. At that time, it was usual for correctional facilities to be located along the coast. Tjuvholmen was once known as the home of the city’s thieves and vagrants. These days, the little islet is full of world-class architecture and art.
