Get together
Thursday 12th of June from 19.00 - 21.00 - Oslo City hall
Join us for mingling at the Oslo City Hall, a short walk from the hotel.
Rådhuset or The Oslo City Hall is full of great art and magnificent murals.
In the 1920s, Functionalism was the leading architectural style in Norway, and as a result of this the new Oslo City Hall became a building strongly inspired by this architectural form, with a clean surface, but you also find elements of modernism, art deco and new classicism.
King Haakon put down the ground stone in 1931, but the actual construction did not start until the year 1933. Due to a pause in the construction during World War II (1940-45), the City Hall had its inauguration on the 15th of May 1950. This date also happens to be religious feast day for Saint Hallvard, patron saint of Oslo.
By the opening in 1950, the functionalism style and the red bricks looked quite old fashioned, as the ideals of the 50s were to use steel and glass. The Oslo City Hall was the last building in Oslo to be built in its style.
