Norwegian folk museum

posted by pmang on 11 August 2010 at 17:12

The Norwegian folk museum is a lovely boat trip across the fjord of Oslo from the city. It is situated within extensive grounds and is an evocation of the living conditions in Norway since the 16th century. Also on the site is a 13th century church which looks more like a Chinese pagoda than any christian building I'd seen.

Holmekollen

This was the site of the ski jump when Oslo hosted the 1952 winter olympics. There are a few museums around here but much more interesting is the great view over Oslo you get from here

Akershus fortress

posted by flarson on 11 August 2010 at 16:45

This fortress has a long and complicated past, dating back to the 13th century when it was built. It's current form is courtesy of the 17th century renovation. The fortrss itself bears witness to the militaristic history of the country- in the second world war it was used as a prison by the Nazis. There is a military history museum inside the fortress which goes back as far as the Vikings.

The Vigelandsparken is an enormous 75 acre area of parkland which is filled with sculptures by Gustav Vigeland who was the premier sculptor of Norway. There are hundreds of sculptures in this garden, all of humans and all in different states and of different ages. Its a unique, fascinating and very well maintained place.
