Above the main entrance of the Oslo City Hall is this gorgeous frieze. The reliefs exhibit Norwegians in everyday activities such as building, farming, fishing, heavy labor, dancing and commerce. The Nordic etchings carved in stone grace the second story balcony. When you walk inside you will find more permanent art including huge murals by Henrik Sørensens. The Oslo Rådhus also hosts the Town Hall Gallery. This is a rotating exhibition of works by contemporary artists. This 1950 building, which was voted the city’s “Structure of the Century,” houses municipal offices and the Oslo City Council.
