Did you know that Oslo is decorated with art? Why? Our Artistic Oslo: A Gallery of Public Art uncovers Norway’s unique art history while strolling through the city centre of Oslo. Together we’ll discover why and what is on display.
The story about the tour
Take a stroll down the beautiful inner-city streets of Oslo. What do you see? Clean streets? Yes, but there is something more. The Norwegian capital is brimming with public art, and the largest cultural centre in the Nordic region – the monumental new National Museum – opened its doors in 2020. If you enjoy art in public spaces, our Artistic Oslo: A Gallery of Public Art Private Walking Tour is the perfect tour for you.
Walking through downtown Oslo with your private guide, gain fascinating insights into the unique art history of Norway. Discover a great selection of public art in and around the city centre, from the Oslo City Hall, where many artists created works that defined a breakthrough in their artistic careers, to the sculptures around the National Theatre and the Norwegian Parliament.
But why is there so much public art in Oslo? Good question! To understand why, we’ll look at the connections between the historical, economic and social changes (Norway became officially independent in 1905), and the historical developments of art in Norway, in the last 300 years. By the end of the tour, you’ll notice that Oslo is decorated in art, like one giant, public, open-air art exhibition and gallery, complete with a vast array of public memorials, sculptures, and reliefs waiting to be discovered!
Have we left you wanting more? Book the extended version of this tour (+ 1 hour) for those with a keen interest in contemporary sculptures. Join us on a venture to discover more about public art patronage in modern-day Oslo, the incredible works in Ekeberg Park and see some fantastic views over the city!

Happy Nobel Day! 💡 As Nobel Week was cancelled in 2020, Nobel lectures, prizes and banquets were replaced with Nobel Week Lights - light installations inspired by Nobel Prize-awarded findings and laureates. As the festivities are now back, we sure hope that we are so lucky that the artwork brightening up the city during the darkest month of the year; is a December tradition that has come to stay. 💫
🇸🇪
Nobeldagen är här! 💡 Nobelveckan blev inställd 2020, och istället för Nobelföreläsningar, prisutdelning och bankett genomfördes Nobel Week Lights som är ljusinstallationer inspirerade av Nobelpris på olika platser i Stockholm. Det blev så uppskattat att det genomförs i år igen trots att Nobelveckan är återinförd. Har vi tur så är det en decembertradition som kommit för att stanna. 💫

It’s a contested issue amongst numerous Baltic connected countries as to who invented the Ice-skate. Was it the Finns or the Dutch? All of this is irrelevant because the best city to ice-skate in is Stockholm. If you want to show off your Quadruple Axel in front of the masses, the ice-rink in Kungsträdgården is the perfect location. ✨⛸️✨

Don`t let its controversy cloud your curiosity as Christianshavns characteristic slanting roofs and canals, as well as the tremendous Church of Our Saviour, are well worth seeing. Not to forget the Færgecafé or Café Parterre who are both worth visiting.
