Oslo Travel Guide

Oslo is often overshadowed by the natural landscape of more rural parts of the country, and the other largest cities of the country like Bergen and Trondheim tend to be more "typical" Norwegian. Nevertheless, Oslo has plenty of sights, good nightlife and is worth seeing.

About Oslo

Oslo covers an area of 454 square Km and is estimated to have a population of 840.000 people being the capital and the largest city in Norway. It is the third-largest Scandinavian city, after Stockholm and Copenhagen, and it forms the third-largest urban area in the region.

Blomqvist Kunsthandel

Built as an auction house by its original owners in 1870, this place is full of history and style. Its two large rooms have glass ceilings creating tons of natural light. Inside you’ll find either one of their six annual auctions or one of their many Norwegian art exhibitions. In 1918 a gallery show released the full collection of an artist by the name of Edvard Munch. His prints and canvasses can still be seen here during temporary exhibitions. While this venue acts as an auction house, items up for bid include antiquities ranging from fine jewelry and paintings to furniture and sculpture.
