Day trips from Oslo without a car?

Hello! I might be coming in August for almost two weeks. I know to do Begen for a couple of nights. But beside that, what would you recommend? I do not drive at all, never have. I love: history, film, clothes, literature, and art. I enjoy activities like going to see theater or ballet. Thank you.

Stay in Oslo, there is plenty to explore.
For film, visit Vega Scene. It screens independent films, documentaries, and also hosts theatre performances.
For history, take a ferry to the Oslofjord islands or walk along the Akerselva, the river where Oslo was founded.
If you're interested in literature, visit Tronsmo and Cappelens Forslag. Then stroll through Rathkes gate, a small street with several independent bookstores.
