Lysaker features industrial buildings, housing and commerce in perfect harmony at the mouth of the Lysaker river. This is Bærum’s border with Oslo, characterised by the main traffic artery of the E18. There are always activities down by the quay area at the mouth of the river. You will find shops along the quay and at Lysaker Torg, which forms a lid over the E18 Drammensveien road. You can take a walk along the river to the waterfall, and experience old industrial history. Lysaker is a traffic hub, and a centre for skills-based industry (Microsoft, Storebrand, Petroleum Geo-Service etc.). The area is also known for the “Lysakerkretsen”, a group of artists and scientists who through their work within art and culture contributed much to the building of the nation in the years around 1900. The explorer, scientist and humanist Fridtjof Nansen was one of them. His home, Polhøgda, at Lagåsen, now houses the Fridtjof Nansen Institute.
