Tjuvholmen is a modern, centrally located neighborhood and peninsula in Oslo, Norway, situated directly south of Aker Brygge and the city center. It extends into the Oslofjord, connecting to the mainland via a bridge, and is known for its contemporary architecture, the Astrup Fearnley Museum, galleries, and seaside restaurants.
The 2020 Christopher Nolan film Tenet filmed key action scenes at Tjuvholmen, specifically around Olav Selvaags Plass and near the Thief Hotel. The modern, waterfront architecture of this Oslo neighborhood was used to represent international locations in the spy thriller.
