Oslo City Hall, A Correction.


The Thoughtful Scotsman has e-mailed to point out some inaccuracies in a previous post.

Oslo "Rådhus" was in fact designed in the 1920's which TS reckons is Art Deco, I decline to comment as I have already demonstratred my ability to get things completely wrong. It was not completed until the 1950's, however, due to the war and German Occupation of Norway.
The officiall opening was on "Oslo Day" 15th May 1950, coinciding with the 900th anniversary of the foundation of Oslo.

With such a wealth of information out there on the www, there is no excuse for such errors.I can't promise it won't happen again though.....
