The Oslo Opera House(Norwegian: Operahuset) is the home of the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the national opera house in Norway. The building is situated in the Bjørvika neighbourhood of central Oslo, at the head of the Oslofjord. It is operated by Norwegian Directorate of Public Construction and Property, the government agency which manages property for the Norwegian government. The structure contains 1,100 rooms in a total area of 49,000 m2(530,000 sq ft).[2] The main auditorium seats 1,364 and two other performance spaces can seat 200 and 400. The main stage is 16 m (52 ft) wide and 40 m (130 ft) deep.[3] The angled exterior surfaces of the building are covered with marble from Carrara, Italy and white granite and make it appear to rise from the water. It is the largest cultural building constructed in Norway since Nidaros Cathedral was completed circa 1300 The Monolith is the towering centerpiece of the Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo, Norway. Measuring 17 meters (nearly 56 feet) tall, this impressive monument is carved entirely from a single block of granite and depicts 121 human figures intertwined and reaching toward the sky. The sculpture is often interpreted as a vision of resurrection and mankind's longing for spirituality. The figures represent a cycle of life, with adults striving and clinging to one another, while the top of the column is crowned with children. Gustav Vigeland modeled the column in clay in 1924, but it took three master stone carvers 14 years to physically carve it out of a solid block of Iddefjord granite. The Monolith stands on the highest point of the park. It is surrounded by 36 granite figure groups that represent the "circle of life" and is accessible via eight ornate, wrought-iron gates Excerpts from Wikipedia The giant hammer statue in front of Oslo Central Station is titled Knus nazismen(Crush Nazism).

They were the most active Norwegian World War II resistance group, carrying out over 110 acts of sabotage against Nazi occupying forces and the collaborationist Norwegian government between 1941 and 1944 Østbanehallen is a vibrant food court, dining, and shopping destination in Oslo, Norway.
