Oslo Bymuseum (Oslo City Museum)
Oslo Bymuseum (Oslo City Museum) Review
One of the world's largest cities, Oslo has changed and evolved greatly over its thousand years. A two-floor, meandering exhibition covers Oslo's prominence in 1050, the Black Death that came in 1348, the great fire of 1624 and subsequent rebuilding, and the urban development of the 20th century. Among the more interesting relics are the red coats that the first Oslo police, the watchmen, wore in 1700, and the first fire wagon in town, which appeared in 1765. Plan to visit the museum near the beginning of your stay for a more informed understanding of the Norwegian capital. The museum is part of the Oslo Museum, which also incorporates the Teatermuseet and the Interkulturelt Museum.
