Lovers of mysticism and “sad romance” converge in the cemetery Vår Frelsers gravlund. The fact is that this is the most beautiful cemetery in the entire city, with each tombstone having its own unique style. It was built in the beginning of the 19th century, because it was at that time the epidemic of cholera broke out. Many famous people like Edvard Munch (whose museum can be found between the parks Botanisk hage and Tøyen) and Henrik Ibsen, were buried here. Oscarshall is considered quite interesting from an architectural point of view. The time of its construction dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. It is the summer residence of King Oscar and one of the vivid examples of neo-Gothic buildings.
Among the museums worth visiting a priori on arriving in the city, it is worth noting the Fram Museum. It is a ship exploring the South and North Poles, which you can climb and feel like Rual Amundsen or Fridtjof Nansen. The truth is that even the weather conditions of extreme poles are simulated here. You will definitely find interesting the Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, which contains works by famous contemporary artists. In the Norsk Folkemuseum, you can find out everything about the life of the people who inhabited Norway at one time or another. It is thus compulsory to visit it in order to get acquainted with the local culture.
