Personal life
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.{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Arnstein Arneberg |encyclopedia=Norsk biografisk leksikon |publisher=Kunnskapsforlaget |location=Oslo |url=http://www.snl.no/.nbl_biografi/Arnstein_Arneberg/utdypning |last=Seip |first=Elisabeth |editor-last=Helle, Knut |editor-link=Knut Helle |language=Norwegian |accessdate=5 April 2014}}
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).

Education
From 1899–1902, 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 1888–1900. 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.[http://www.khm.uio.no/utstilling/faste/vikingskipene/index_eng.html The Viking Ship Museum (Kulturhistorisk museum)]{{Cite web |last=Jens Christian Eldal |date=20 February 2017 |title=Alfred Christian Dahl |url=https://nkl.snl.no/Alfred_Christian_Dahl |access-date=May 1, 2017 |publisher=Norsk kunstnerleksikon}}
Career
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.
