    OVERVIEW

    Gain a broad understanding of Oslo by delving into its maritime history and inspiring creativity before heading to Gardermoen Airport in plenty of time to catch your flight. The Fram Museum focuses on Norway’s heroic polar explorations, and its namesake – the wooden ship Fram – is mounted inside. Besides walking through this extraordinary vessel that was purpose-built in 1892 for polar research, you can learn about Norway’s Arctic and Antarctic pioneers such as Roald Amundsen, the first to sail through the Northwest Passage and the first to reach the South Pole. Gustav Vigeland was a trailblazer of a different sort as you will discover at his namesake outdoor sculpture museum. His life’s work, more than 200 sculptures of the human form in granite, bronze and wrought iron are on display. Another Oslo landmark – towering Holmenkollen Ski Jump – lies ahead, offering you spectacular views of the city, the fjord and the surrounding islands.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Browse the Fram Museum, a collection of ships and artifacts from polar expeditions.
    • Behold hundreds of outdoor sculptures, all created by one obsessive Norwegian artist.
    • Enjoy breathtaking views of Oslo and beyond from atop Holmenkollen Ski Jump.
    • Debark at Gardermoen Airport with plenty of time to board your flight.

    OVERVIEW

    Discover how two extraordinarily modern buildings have transformed Oslo’s skyline and pushed the boundaries of design. An architectural historian guide will elaborate on the buildings’ advanced technologies and present a rare insider’s perspective of their construction. The iconic Equinor office building consists of five separate rectangular modules stacked on top of each other at different angles, all in an effort to optimize daylight and views. You may also learn fascinating details about how the atrium’s propeller-shaped glass roof was designed to withstand months of extra weight from snow. Similarly, climate conditions influenced the design of the Munchmusset, a 13-story museum dedicated to the works of Norwegian artist Edvard Munch. It is constructed with low-carbon concrete and aluminum cladding that reflects harsh sunlight and is cooled with seawater. You will notice that there are no parking spaces to encourage visitors to use public transportation. The top of the building intentionally tips forward as if bowing to Oslo in homage.

    HIGHLIGHTS

    • Follow an architectural historian through two cutting-edge buildings for an insider’s perspective.
    • Discover how architects overcame the design challenges in a building with five stacked modules.
    • Learn the design secrets behind a towering, aluminum-clad art museum.
