SEE: Grønland neighborhood
In Eat and Drink, See on November 12, 2010 at 12:54
Grønland is a neighborhood not far from the city center. I hadn’t explored it very much, so I decided to see what it was all about one day last week. It’s the “multicultural melting-pot” of Oslo… Read the rest of this entry »
SEE: Munch Museet
In See on November 9, 2010 at 15:46
Last week I headed out to East-Oslo to spend some time at the Munch Museum. (A little FYI for Oslo visitors: the museum is free during the Fall/Winter months.) You are probably aware that Edvard Munch (pronounced “Moonk”) is responsible for the wonderfully eerie painting The Scream: Read the rest of this entry »

SEE: Fall (has fallen) in Oslo
In See on October 13, 2010 at 19:28
I was away for five days last week and I returned to find that all of the trees of the city got together and decided to shed their summer ‘dos. I like being in a place that has a real Autumn… Read the rest of this entry »
SEE: Oslo Botanical Garden (Botanisk Hage)

In See on September 20, 2010 at 15:41
Galleri Würth is a small art gallery located 15 km north of Oslo at Würth Norway’s headquarters. When reading about Galleri Würth, I found it strange that an art gallery was on the grounds of a company that specializes in fastening and assembly technology. … Read the rest of this entry »

SEE: Aker Brygge and Akershus Fortress
In See on September 1, 2010 at 18:12Today brought sunshine and slight warmth, so I thought it best to spend most of the day outdoors. I took the metro (T-banen) to the National Theatre stop and headed south. It’s just a quick 10 minutes to reach the boardwalk called Aker Brygge, a mostly commercial area with fancy shops and condos. It’s right on the Oslo fjord and makes for a lovely place to grab a hot dog or some tasty ice cream and people watch. Just across the fjord is the medieval Akershus Fortress, where I wandered next.
