My visit to Oslo in September was eye-opening and quite enjoyable. I agree that the stunning (and stuffed) National Museum is worth a tour, but plan on at least a couple of visits to take it all in. Not mentioned in the article is the equally stunning opera house which opened in 2008 in the Bjørvika neighborhood, near the Munch Museum, which has a spectacular marble rooftop affording panoramic views of the city and environs. We didn’t attend a performance, but did do a guided tour which takes you throughout the building and its 1,300-seat auditorium, lined in oak paneling and containing a chandelier festooned with almost 6,000 handmade crystals.
