Bazaar Halls

Posted in Historical Places

The halls were built 1840 – 59 to improve conditions for a food sales. The architect of the project was Christian Henrik Grosch. Bazaars has repeatedly been threatened with demolition. First time it happened in 1901, when one would construct a new stock exchange building on the site. Collapsing of a real estate market and bad economical situation stopped plans. In the 1930s new reasons for demolition laid down: increased traffic required street extension, and in addition, it should be planted a park. World War II saved the building. After peace came in 1945 municipal authorities got better ideas, and in 1949 the City Council repealed its 12 year old demolition decision. In 1960 the old market was renovated.

free of charge museums

Posted in Oslo Tips

Since 2006  three Oslo museums were united in om;oslo museum. All three deal with Oslo city from different perspective and have a free entrance.

om;by museet

Oslo City Museum, situated at Frogner Manor in Gustav Vigelands park (Frognerparken), is a museum of cultural history with one of the largest collections of paintings in Norway. The history of Oslo is illustrated by thematic exhibitions showing, among other things, the development of Oslo and the city’s cultural and commercial activities.

In the museum you can watch a 15 minute long DVD-program, entitled “Oslo During 1000 years”, presenting the history of Oslo in English.

The main building at Frogner Manor, dating back to approximately 1790, contains historical interiors.

Opening hours for the Museum:
Monday closed  Tuesday – Sunday 11am – 4pm (5pm in summer)

om;gamle rådhus

Old Town Hall museum, situated at Christiania Torv 1, together with probably most famous Oslo fountain with the pointing glove. You shall build it exactly here! That’s what the Danish king Christian IV probably said back in 1624 when he decided where the new town of Christiania (was renamed Oslo in 1925) should be located.

Exhibitions:

a. Highlights from Oslo’s Theatre history

b. Presentation of the old town of Christiania (Oslo). Oslo burnt down in 1624 and the Danish-Norwegian King Christian IV relocated the town and renamed it after himself. The exhibition shows models of buildings and portraits from the period. It also casts a light on urban development, change in building traditions and living conditions.

c. 15 minute long DVD-program, entitled “Oslo During 1000 years”, presenting the history of Oslo in English.

Opening hours for the Museum:
Monday closed  Tuesday – Sunday 11am – 4pm

om;interkulturel museet – ikm

Come and experience reconstructions of “Our Sacred Space” in Oslo! The exhibition shows the diaspora situation of six world religions in Oslo, Norway: Sikhism, Judaism, Islam, Christianity, Hinduism and Buddhism. In the exhibition, different rooms of worship are recreated. Religions have crossed borders with the migration of people, and established themselves side by side in foreign countries. The project aims to bring about dialog between people of different religious backgrounds.

Opening hours for the Museum:
Monday, Saturday closed.  Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday  1oam – 4pm. Thursday 10am – 8pm

address:  Tøyenbekken 5, 0188 Oslo

17 May Constitution Day – День Конституции

Posted in Oslo Gallery

Norway adopted its constitution in 1814, and it is this event that is celebrated May 17. The Norwegian Parliament, the Storting, held the first May 17 celebrations in 1836, and from then on the day was regarded as the national day.

Parade on Karl Johan – Во время парада на Карл Йохан

Gunmen after salute – Артиллеристы после салюта

Most people dress in their best spring clothes, with a Norwegian flag or May 17 ribbon pinned to their lapel. It has become increasingly popular to wear the national dress, the bunad, on this occasion. The bunad varies in appearance from region to region and the magnificent sight of national costumes from all over the country is one of the reasons why this day truly represents a celebration of Norwegian tradition and history.

homage to Martin Parr – аля Матин Парр

Parade on Karl Johan 2 – Во время парада на Карл Йохан 2

Норвегия приняла конституцию в 1814 году. Традиция праздновать этот день начинается в 1836 году когда Норвежский парламент учредил 17 мая как национальный праздник. В наши дни день конституции очень популярен: многие одевают национальные костюмы и приезжают в Осло, чтобы поучаствовать на традициональном параде или просто походить по городу в этот особенный день.
