    Highlights: The Munch Museum is one of the must-see attractions in Oslo. The museum collects a large number of precious materials such as Edvard Munch's paintings, sketches, letters, notes, photos, etc., so that you can fully understand Munch's life. Interestingly, the reason why the museum can retain and display so many Munch works and historical materials is because Munch was not considered a best-selling artist during his lifetime. Therefore, until his death, there are still many works that have not been published. Woolen cloth. In 1940, Munch donated all his works to the Norwegian government, thus, in 1936, this unique art museum with more of his things in the world was born.

    "Oslo was formed in a hurry for a day, and chose the city bus for a half-day tour. The focus is on the Viglang Sculpture Park. The statue works of various forms are presented everywhere in the park. The park area is not small. You can also browse the natural landscape of the park while enjoying the statue. Many locals do sunbathing there, very beautiful"

    Highlights: In his later years, Norwegian sculptor Vigeland spent more than 20 years painstakingly completing nearly 200 statues of figures with different expressions, with a total of 650 figures in relief. These statues all stand in the Vigeland Statue Park in the northwest corner of the capital Oslo. Walking into this lush park, you can see open lawns, lush woods, and ponds, making it a great place for people to take a walk and have a picnic. The sidewalk in the middle of the park is lined with various life-size statues, and the more famous one is a 17-meter-high tower of life and death. The tower is carved with 121 figures intertwined intricately, depicting the world. When people are dissatisfied with life on earth and climb to "heaven", they are fighting each other and supporting each other. These statues are all made of copper, iron or granite, and they tell life and life in various poses. Walking through the park is like stepping into an outdoor art gallery, which is claimed to be the largest sculpture park in the world. In addition, if you are interested in sculpture art, you can also visit the Vigeland Gallery next to the park, which displays Vigeland's early statues, molds and sketches.

    "Finally, there are no churches that can't tell the name, and there is no cumbersome architectural beauty. This Oslo cathedral in Norway is a little fresh, even though the Norwegian state church evangelical Lutheranism is centered on this cathedral. The cathedral was built in 1694. It took about a century for the repairs to be completed. The bronze gate and the German pipe organ inside are two major churches. There is a flower market in front of the church. There is a sculpture behind it. It is a statue of King Christian IV of Norway."

    8.2km from downtown
    Highlights: The Oslo Cathedral was built in 1697 and consists of a chapel and a tower. The interior decoration was not completed until around 1720, and was renovated in the 19th and 20th centuries. The Oslo Cathedral, which is now presented to the world, has no complicated carvings and decorations, but is simple and atmospheric. The Dutch-style red brick walls add a bit of warmth to the perennially cold Norway. The bronze door of the church cast in 1938 was designed and completed by the Norwegian sculptor Dagfin Werenskiold. The carving depicts the scene of Jesus preaching and preaching. It is surrounded by flowers and birds and beasts. It is a valuable cultural relic and should not be missed. The stained glass in the church was carefully designed by Emmanuel Vigeland, the younger brother of the sculptor Gustave Vigeland. It is beautiful and worth savoring. In addition, the large pipe organ in the church is composed of 6,000 log pipes, and the sound is ethereal and holy when played. There is also a row of Basarhallene antique shops, gift shops, cafes and restaurants built between 1841 and 1858 next to the church. After visiting Oslo Cathedral, you may wish to take a good stroll.

    "Come to Oslo, the capital of Norway, and recommend a visit to the Nobel Peace Center. The Peace Center is the Nobel Peace Prize award venue. The most pleasant surprise is to introduce the winners of the Nobel Peace Prize in the form of small light boxes. The light boxes will display photos and introductions. The dark rooms flash one light box and turn the color. In addition, there are other exhibitions in the center, which can be visited by the way, and you can also go to the souvenir shop when you leave. The predecessor of the building is a railway station, the exterior wall is light yellow, the color is gentle and comfortable, which is suitable for the theme of the Peace Center. Admission is not cheap. It is recommended to buy the Oslo Pass. You can take the tram and visit multiple museums unlimited times within 1 day. Address: Brynjulf Bulls plass 1, 0250 Oslo, Norway"
