NordicOslo.

Norway's largest and most important art museum — opened 2022. Houses the original 1893 tempera Scream by Munch, plus the entire Norwegian national collection from the Viking Age to contemporary. One of the finest new museum buildings in Europe, by Kleihues + Schuwerk.

212 bronze, granite and cast-iron sculptures by Gustav Vigeland arranged along an 850-metre axis — the human life cycle from birth to death in an obsessive, often disturbing figurative style. The 17-metre Monolith column of 121 intertwined human figures is the centrepiece. Free, always open, one of the strangest sculpture environments on earth.

Oslo's most lived-in neighbourhood — vintage shops, coffee roasters, record stores, bars and restaurants around Olaf Ryes plass. Oslo's craft beer scene is centred here. In summer the square fills with Osloites staying out as late as the 23:00 Nordic sunset allows.

The most famous ski jump in the world — rebuilt in 2011 as a dramatic wave of steel and glass, now also an observation deck 60 metres above the landing hill with a panoramic view of Oslo, the fjord and the forested hills of Nordmarka. The Ski Museum inside is the world's oldest. The zip-line from the top is optional and genuinely terrifying.
