Oslo City Hall and Nobel Peace Center

 Thursday afternoon, we were able to get back to the City Hall to see the inside.


First, we had to study more of the outdoor art -- the folklore and fairy tales.


This City Hall has the most incredible murals and tapestries. Here are some of them...







The King and Queen.

Kind of remind you of Chico's City Chambers?



The Nobel Peace Center showcases the Nobel Peace Prize and the ideals it represents. The center is also an arena where culture and politics merge to promote involvement, debate, and reflection on topics such as war, peace, and conflict resolution.We were grateful to have the time to spend inside. The latest winner's exhibit was being set up. If we can, we can go back and see it tomorrow.


One light for each winner: One light to add peace to the world.

The Nobel Peace Prize.

  2. What an inspiration! We so need the values represented by the Nobel Peace Prize front and center today.
