The Oslo City Hall houses the City Council, City administration, and art studios and galleries. The construction started in 1931, but was paused by the outbreak of World War II, before the official inauguration in 1950. Its characteristic architecture, artworks, and the Nobel Peace Prize makes it one of Oslo's most famous buildings. It was designed by Arnstein Arneberg and Magnus Poulsson.
It is situated in Pipervika in central downtown Oslo. The area was completely renovated and rebuilt to make room for the new City Hall, back in the late 1920's.

Such a grand building! You got finely
the whole building in you photo. Well done!
Have a happy weekend!
Impressive. Someone claimed that our city hall was made out of 30 million bricks. I think you’ve got quite a few as well...
Thanks for commenting! :)
I guess there must be a vast amount of bricks in this building, yes. Never thought about that. ;)
Ha! I literally JUST posted a post with the City Hall here in Odense and then found you'd done the same on yours, hehe :)
Welcome to the DP family! Like you said, it's great to see another Scanndinavian country on the map.
Hey, I've been there back in 2003!
Nice shot!
Thanks for your comments, guys! :)
It appeals to this architectonic style to me, I believed it typical of
the Italian fascist architecture (1920-1940)
Thanks for your comment, Nazzareno! :) You seem to be right about the architecture.
I've just done a post about the Nobel Peace Centre which includes my own photo of this building taken from a different direction. I've included a link to your post here - see http://ackworthborn.blogspot.com/2007/10/abc-wednesday-n-is-for-nobel-peace.html
