Tøyen is a rapid transit station located in the Common Tunnel of Oslo Metro in Norway. Located in the borough of Gamle Oslo, it was also called "Tøyen-Munchmuseet" due to its proximity to the former art museum. The sign on platform 4 formerly said Munchmuseet underneath the station name, but it has been covered over with blue tape. It is the last station on the east side shared by all lines; the Grorud Line and Ring Line departs from the other four lines at Tøyen.[1] The station has three platforms, on the south side is a platform for all outbound trains. Across the tracks is another for inbound trains coming from Ensjø, and on the other side of this platform is a third one for inbound trains from Carl Berners plass.
The station was opened on 22 May 1966 as part of the new metro lines to the eastern boroughs of Oslo. [2] Above the metro station is a shopping centre. The Munch Museum was formerly found here but it was relocated to Bjørvika, a few years ago. There is also a park north of the subway station with botanical gardens and paleontological, geological and zoological museums.
There is also a railway station, Tøyen Station, that is located on the Gjøvik Line, though this station is located from the metro station.
