What's On Oslo: March/April 2022

MAR/APR

VIGELAND'S WONDERFUL SCULPTURE WORLD

SPRING IS HERE Welcome to What’s On Oslo in March and April – when springtime wakes Norwegians from their winter hibernation.

In truth though, Norwegians are not very good hibernators at all.

Although Norwegian bears like finding a cozy (or koselig, as Norwegians say) spot in the forest to sleep through the winter, many of Oslo’s citizens prefer strapping on skis to roam the forests at high speed. Or they could be on the lookout for one of the cozy cafes, such as Ullevålseter or Frognerseteren, that appear as from nowhere between the trees.

Still, with spring comes the promise of warmer times and, literally, greener pastures. As the days stay bright longer, many locals feel energized and get a fresh spring (pun intended) in their step.

The new activity can also be seen in the increasing amount of events that are organized all over town, ensuring that your Oslo springtime will be anything but boring.

This year has extra significance and poignancy, as we remember the cultural places that did not survive the pandemic.

At the same time there may be something of a renaissance ahead, as new inspiration and concepts appear.

An activity sure to get you acquainted with the city is museum hopping, and in this month’s official Museum List you will find an updated list of current exhibitions and activities at Oslo’s many wonderful museums.

You can for instance begin by visiting the excellent Queen Sonja Art Stable, a museum that showcases items from The Royal Collections. Now you can see "The King's Cars. Vehicles Through Four Generations".

Another great start is The Museum of Oslo in beautiful Frognerparken, where you can enjoy exhibitions about everyday life in Oslo in World War II, as well as a special collection of paintings of Oslo by artists through the ages What’s on Oslo.
