Description:
| The Oslo City Hall houses the City Council, City administration, and art studios and galleries. In 1920 the architects Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson were chosen as architects for the project. Their drawings, approved in 1930, present the combination of modernism and functionalism with national romanticism. The foundation stone was laid in 1931 but it was after the World War II that the works were completed and building was finally opened on May 15, 1950, on the occasion of celebration of the 900th anniversary of the founding of the city of Oslo. Since 1990 Nobel Peace Prize is awarded here. Model made by Stefan Larsson, larstefan@gmail.com, for Helge. |
