    The exterior of this building is quite ugly and looks brutalist in nature - Soviet type design. Entry is free, you just have to go through the security scan to enter. Upon entry, you can walk around in the main hall which has interesting murals and is a huge, airy space. It's also where they award the Nobel Peace Prize. Worth taking some pics.

    This is one of the attractions located along Johans Gate. There are 2 big Tiger statues infront of it and a big park as well. I guess this is where they make the LAWS for Norway.

    During my visit, there are some exhibits going on in front of this attraction/ park. Took some pictures and proceeded with my walk along the Johans Gate.

    So much TV and radio history to see. Fantastic that NRK have maintained the building in the way they have. We loved the tour. The highlight was the costume department and the clothes worn for the Eurovision Song Contest.
    A great trip through Norwegian TV and radio history.

    The Supreme Court (Høyesterett) is located in the heart of downtown Oslo near several government buildings. The building was designed by the late architect Hans Jacob Sparre and built in 1903. It is considered an historic building and is protected as such by the state.

    The building was partially damaged by the blast during the terrorist attack in Norway on July 22, 2011. The memorial museum is also located in this government quarter.
