Theatercaféen

Opposite Nationaltheatret is Theatercaféen, the revered café which since its opening in 1900 have housed many members of the Norwegian art and culture scene, actors and actresses from Nationaltheatret. Starting in 1924, portraits of these guests were made and placed on the walls of the café. The tradition has continued, and the collection now contains 81 portraits of authors, actors, painters, photographers, musicians and composers, all former or current patrons of the café.
