Wikipedia: Headquarters of the United Nations
The headquarters of the United Nations (UN) is on 17 to 18 acres (6.9 to 7.3 ha) of grounds in the Turtle Bay neighborhood of Midtown Manhattan in New York City, United States. It borders First Avenue to the west, 42nd Street to the south, 48th Street to the north, and the East River to the east.[4] Completed in 1952, the complex consists of several structures, including the Secretariat, Conference, and General Assembly buildings, and the Dag Hammarskjöld Library. The complex was designed by a board of architects led by Wallace Harrison and built by the architectural firm Harrison & Abramovitz, with final projects developed by Oscar Niemeyer and Le Corbusier. The term Turtle Bay is occasionally used as a metonym for the UN headquarters or United Nations as a whole.
 
The headquarters holds the seats of the principal organs of the UN, including the General Assembly and the Security Council, but excluding the International Court of Justice, which is seated in The Hague.
   
United Nations
Security Council Chamber
Under the Charter, the Security Council has primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security. It has 15 Members, and each Member has one vote. Under the Charter, all Member States are obligated to comply with Council decisions.
 
The Security Council Chamber was furnished by Norway and designed by leading Norwegian architect, Arnstein Rynning Arneberg, and it’s easily identified by its central horseshoe-shaped table. A large mural by Norwegian artist, Per Lasson Krohg, symbolizing the promise of future peace and individual freedom, dominates the east wall.

The history and inspiration behind the Security Council Chamber is unique. And made in Norway.
Queen Sonja says:
Let it remind us all of the ideals we must continue to work towards for our #CommonFuture - in the most important room in the world.

The Most Important Room in the World Exhibited
An unique exhibition of the history and design of the UN Security Council chamber has opened at the UN headquarters.
10. May 2022
Norway, an elected member of the Security Council 2021-2022, is pleased to finally open the exhibition, that was postponed for two years due to Covid19 restrictions.
 
The Security Council Chamber has been the arena for some of the most impactful and world shaping conversations in history. The Exhibition “Crafting Unity” offers unique insights in how the chamber came to be, and how its carefully crafted design and symbols accentuate the importance of the work conducted in it.
 
Furnished and designed by Norwegian architect, Arnstein Arneberg, the Security Council Chamber was offered as a gift from the Norwegian Government to the United Nations when the UN building was completed in 1952.
