Villa Stenersen is considered one of the main works of Norwegian Modernist architecture. Originally planned as a private home for finance broker and art lover Rolf M. Stenersen and his family, Villa Stenersen is now a meeting place for the fields of architecture and design. The villa is open to the public on the first Sunday of every month, with guided tours of the house.

Villa Stenersen was designed in 1938 by one of Norway's most renowned architects, Arne Korsmo. Korsmo is known as an internationally oriented architect, and Villa Stenersen is a clear example of how the architect interpreted and applied the international architectural ideas of his time. As well as being a family home, the villa was home to the numerous works of art in Rolf Stenersen's collection of art. Korsmo's architectural solutions are to a great extent designed with regard to this, something which gives the house some of its unique characteristics. Today, contemporary artworks on loan from the private collection of Sten Stenersen jr. are displayed in the house.
