It' been 6 years since my visit, but it was certainly memorable. As another reviewer noted, I too noticed that the atmospheric control is non-existent and worried about the longevity of the masterpieces enclosed in the museum. Oslo is a fabulous city with extraordinary historic treasures as well as innovative, modern architecture. The museum was certainly smaller than most major... more

It's almost ten years (12/2/1994) since 'The Scream' by Edvard Much was temporarily removed from the Nasjonalgalleriet by (the courts concluded) a gang led by Norweigan Paal Engers.

the paintings are encased in grande fashion, with silent observant guards in each room. the gallery itself is worth one observation, and the selections of paintings were broad, and welcomed. norwegian painters, not well known in the states, brought to life: the 1800's, and the mountain paintings, would make julie andrews hit a high note. walking quielty on wooden floors,... more
