White Hall


This is the red White Hall inside the Norwegian Parliament Building. This is where the 169 representatives/members meet for discussions. The Parliament Building was designed by the architect Emil Victor Langlet, and inaugurated March 5th 1866. As well as the building itself, Langlet also designed the White Hall. He was inspired by Norwegian nature, the pillars are made from Norwegian oak, and he used motifs from Norwegian Stave Churches/Medieval Wooden Churches

    Hei - hvordan har du det? Fun to find your Oslo blog tonight! How did I miss it until now! The White Hall inside the Stortinget is very elegant!

    Wow. This is a magnificent room!

    I sure hope our government officials never see it or they might get ideas.

    Welcome to the CDP community! I'm looking forward to learning more about Oslo through your eyes.
