  • Freia Chocolate Factory

    A walk in the spring and sunshine. And noticing this old building in my neighborhood. Freia chocolate is not Norwegian owned any more, but still there is production going on in the factory in my neighborhood.

    I can sometimes smell the chocolate being made.

  • Munch museum

    20140115-103353.jpg The next step in my Oslo exploration was a trip to the Munch museum. I walked down to it in the snow.

    Considering that I came in from the chill, the museum felt overly warm. Probably better to visit when the temperatures are better outside.

    The collection at the Munch museum is actually more extensive than I thought – and I spent more time on the lesser known pictures than the Scream and the other famous ones.

    Incidentally, the Scream at the Munch museum is a bit like the Mona Lisa at the Louvre. Everyone wants to see it, but in the end it is smaller than you’d think – and not nearly as impressive.

    It was a fun museum to visit.
