Oslo City Hall

Oslo Town Hall houses a series of wooden friezes that were created by Dagfin Werenskiold and detail stories from Norse Mythology - The Older Edda (the creation and heroic poems recorded in the 13th century) and the Younger Edda (from Snorre Sturlason).  This post is just to show all of the friezes and their details.
