Quoting Ruben Safir (ruben at mrbrklyn.com):

> Is that the national museum that has the last Rembrand masterpeice?

Rembrandt's very last painting, the unfinished one found on his easel
when he suddenly died in 1669 at the age of 63, was 'Simeon with the
Christ Child in the Temple' (oil on canvas,
http://www.cs.vu.nl/~fjseins/RembrandtCatalogue/images5/r_559.jpg).
It's currently at the Nationalmuseum (which means what you think it
does), Stockholm, Sweden.

News bulletin:  Norway and Sweden have been separate countries for 110
years.

His last _finished_ painting was a self-portrait
(http://mystudios.com/rembrandt/works/rembrandt-sp-1669.jpg).  It's in
Maruitshuis, Den Haag, Netherlands.

Rembrandt van Rijn was also renowned for etchings and drawings, so it's
possible you mean one of those as his 'last masterpiece'.  However, no,
none of the _paintings_ from the last nine years of Rembrandt's life (at
least) are in Oslo.
