If you are planning on doing some sightseeing in Oslo, I recommend you buy the Oslo Card. The price is not bad at all (surprisingly), and public transport (ferries, buses, trains, trams; that alone costs over 60 NOK - $10 - for 24 hours) is included, as well as the entrance fees to all the major sights and museums. If you're only going to 2-3 museums and will be using public transport for more than 3 trips, you get good value for money. See VisitOslo.com for more info on all sights and activities in Oslo and how to get there. Also check out the travel planner in Oslo, trafikanten.no (click on the British flag on the bottom left side of the page for information in English), which helps you find the right bus/tram/ferry to where you want to go.

Spend a few hours at the Folk MuseumThis large outdoor museum is a collection of old Norwegian farm houses and shows you what life was like in Norway hundreds of years ago. Visit exhibits with traditional clothing, watch traditional folk dancing and even whole blocks from cities like Oslo and Kragerø. The stave church from the 13th century is especially a treat. You need some time here, there's so much to see!
Every Sunday a free folk dancing show takes place at the Folk museum. This is from the spectacular "flying dance".
Guides dressed as in the old days are to be found around the exhibition
The beautiful stave church is from Gol and was built around year 1200 Detail from the roof of the stave church
