Norway 2: Oslo

<BODY> <h2>Norway 2: Oslo</h2><br> <h2>EUROPE</h2><br> Oslo is the cultural and financial center of Norway, but that that is just the beginning. Here we find the famous Kon-Tiki Museum, celebrating Thor Hyerdahl's 57-day voyage across the Atlantic on a papyrus boat named the RA2; the Vigeland Sculpture Park is an outdoor museum filled with over 200 granite, bronze, and iron sculptures by Norway's greatest sculptor, Gustav Vigeland; the Norwegian Folk Museum is built entirely of wood and allows one to virtually visit the whole country in a single day; the Oslo City Hall building is an architectural masterpiece, which could pass as an art gallery; it too is where the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded each year; and Norway's Royal Castle is a symmetrical, three-story, flat-roof castle situated on top of a hill at the end of Oslo's main street. 08DR IJSCA 30 min. <A HREF="index.htm" target=_top>Home</a><br> </BODY>
