"The Frieze of Life"


It opened its doors in 1963, the collection consists of works and articles willed by Munch to the municipality of Oslo, additional works donated by his sister Inger Munch, and various other works obtained through trades of duplicate prints, etc. As a result, the museum now has in its permanent collection well over half of the artist's entire production of paintings and at least one copy of all his prints. This amounts to over 1,100 paintings, 15,500 prints covering 700 motives, six sculptures, as well as 500 plates, 2,240 books, and various other items.
In addition to its collection of works of art, the museum also contains educational and conservation sections. It has facilities for performing arts.

Reserved for H.Ibsen- Grand Cafe-Grand Hotel
As an art lover, especially a theatre one, you I couldn't miss to drink a hot chocolate at the Grand Cafe of The Grand Hotel in Oslo, where years ago, H.Ibsen used to seat at his table at 11 a.m. every day and have lunch. The table was still there waiting for him, with the newspaper on it!
I read his plays, I personify his characters, and now I got to step on his foot steps in the city where he lived his last 11 years.

Gone fishing...:))
For the first time ever, my own fishing session, ended up with ... a single fish...it's not a faboulous amount, but I was happy with my first achievement. Not mentioning a big one escaped along with my bait!!
Still love to fish though!
I think the poor fish died stragled by my own hadns ( because of the excitement), not cause it was out of the water...sorry fishy!
that was not the bait....

ancient Oslo
Coming in Norway and not seeing The Viking Ship Museum , it's like going to Paris without seeing La Tour Eiffel. A single word to describe these 3 ancient ships: incredible!
It is part of the Museum of Cultural History of the University of Oslo, and houses archaeological finds from Tune, Gokstad (Sandefjord), Oseberg (Tønsberg) and the Borre mound cemetery.
The museum displays the Viking Age Oseberg ship, Gokstad ship and Tune ship alongside sledges, beds, a (horse) cart, wood carving, tent components, buckets and other grave goods.
In the Viking Ship Museum visitors enter and immediately face the Oseberg Ship. If you walk past the ship, you can reache the centre of the museum, with artefacts from the Oseberg discovery right in front, the Gokstad Ship to the left and the Tune Ship to the right. The Museum also has a balcony that is open to the public with a beautiful view from above of the Oseberg Ship and Gokstad Ship. On the mezzanine above the entrance there are thematic exhibitions.
next stop: The Fram Museum
The museum shows the history of the polar explorers. Here you’ll find the world’s most famous polar ship, the Fram, from 1892. The ship is displayed in its original condition with interior and objects perfectly preserved. Every visitor is welcome on board!
The museum tells the story of the Norwegian polar expeditions, who also represent international history in the field of polar exploration: Nansen's journey across the Polar ocean and his attempt to go to the North Pole, Sverdrup's expedition to Greenland, a voyage where more than 200 000 square kilometers of unchartered land was discovered, and Amundsens journey to the South Pole, the discovery of the Northwest Passage and his attempt to reach the North Pole by plane and airship.
The exhibitions in the museum have a representative selection of animals from the Polar region, like polar bears and penguins.
