Arnstein Rynning Arneberg was born in Fredrikshald (now Halden) as a son of factory manager Mauritz Otto Edward Arneberg (1845–1913) and Hermione Nicoline Mathilde Rynning (1858–1944). Arneberg grew up in Lysaker in Oslo.[2] In 1910, he married Aagot Kielland Skavlan (1888–1960), a daughter of professor Olaf Skavlan. After the marriage was dissolved in 1923 Arneberg married Eva Elisabeth Reimers (1901–1987). A daughter from the first marriage, ceramicist Gro Skavlan Arneberg, was married to economist and politician Egil Lothe.[3]

From 1899 to 1902, he was a student at the Royal Drawing School, now the Norwegian National Academy of Craft and Art Industry in Oslo. Arneberg began his education of the architect with employment as assistant to the architect, Alfred Christian Dahl (1857–1940) in Oslo from 1888 to 1900. Arneberg studied at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm from 1904 to 1906. He also studied with Swedish architects Isak Gustaf Clason, Gustaf Lindgren, and Erik Lallerstedt. In Stockholm, he studied with a group of Norwegian architect students who came to be influential in the academic environment, including Magnus Poulsson.[4]

In 1908, Arneberg established his own architectural practice. He and architect Ole Andreas Sverre (1865–1952) worked as partners on Arneberg's earliest works, including a proposal for the Royal Lodge (Kongsseteren) at Voksenkollen, outside Oslo. As an independent architect, Arneberg's work included a large array of residences, office buildings, churches, railroad stations, and interiors.[6][7][8] He is best known for his work on the Oslo City Hall (with Magnus Poulsson) and interior design of the UN Security Council in New York City.[9] He is also known for his work on the Viking Ship Museum in Bygdøy, built for the Oseberg ship, which was completed in 1926, as well as Skaugum, the official residence of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of Norway.[10][11]
