This is the hall where the Nobel Peace Prize is given. In 1979
Mother Teresa (India, Kolkata) got the prize for poverty awareness campaigner (India); and this year
Muhammad Yunus (মুহাম্মদ ইউনুস), (
Bangladesh) got the Noble peace prize, here in Oslo City Hall. This hall is just in the harbour and the view is majestic. I like the shot, because the Seagull bird is looking like a white pigeon, which is considered as the emblem of peace in India.
Wikipedia describes,
The Oslo City Hall houses the
City Council, City administration, and art studios and galleries. The construction started in 1931, but was paused by the outbreak of
World War II, before the official inauguration in 1950. Its characteristic architecture, artworks, and the
Nobel Peace Prize ceremony makes it one of
Oslo's most famous buildings.
We met a Norwegian family, a couple with three sweet kids. By nature the Norwegians are very gentle and clam. I liked them, in my limited scope of interaction. Norway is considered as a peace loving country.
