Rådhuset, the City Hall of Oslo is a popular attraction among visitors and an important landmark for the local people of the city. The building is made of concrete and has a brick face, giving it an imposing and grand look, with 2 towers, one of which has a beautiful clock face. Work on this building started way back in 1931 but the building was inaugurated in 1950.

It was designed by Magnus Poulson and Arnstein Arneberg and serves multiple functions for multiple visitors; for the locals it is the home of the city council and administration while for the tourist it also has great art galleries and studios. Visit Rådhuset and check out the huge clock that is seen on one of its towers. Check out the 2^nd tower house – the eastern tower; it has 49 bells which, when they chime, are heard across the entire area. Take a close look at the beautiful façade of the building; you will find some fantastic sculptures and also reliefs on it. Step into the Rådhuset and examine the frescoes that adorn the interior. You get to see work by Norwegian artists of the caliber of Edward Munch, Per Krohg, Henrik Sorensen, and many others. If you are in Oslo during the summer visit the eastern tower of the Rådhuset to attend the Carillon concert, an event that happens every Sunday. Explore the art studios inside the building and take a look at the work on display at the galleries that are in the Rådhuset.
