• How much Oslo can u pack in?

    August 3, 2024 in Norway ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    How much Oslo can you pack in - especially if, like me, you have the absorption rate of a saturated sponge?
    We started out, of course, on a quest for coffee but the place is dead on a Saturday before 10am. No breakfast eating out here.
    We went to Akershus Castle, which is still used for state occasions. Impressive views. There was also a Resistance Museum nearby, which documented Norway's part in Hitler's downfall.
    Then to the Nobel Peace Museum for some wonderment and inspiration.
    The National Museum was terrific, at least the part showing various stages in Norwegian life and then the evolution of graphic and industrial design. The art parts were a bit befuddling (isn't all contemporary art?) and the Kandinsky section was disappointing (his early work).
    Then another art museum for more befuddlement and a walk around the outside of the palace.
    Really need a month and smaller bites to take it all in.
