Walking through Oslo on a cold winter day, November 2017, you cannot miss this beautiful university.
Located on a large square is the university and its annexes.
The entrance is a huge eye-catcher with its 4 pillars behind which the wide staircase enters the building.

On the square are also 2 statues placed in front of the building viz.
-Anton Martin Schweigaard (April 11, 1808 - February 1, 1870) he was a Norwegian educator, jurist, economist and member of the Norwegian Parliament. (visit link)
-Peter Andreas Munch (December 15, 1810 - May 25, 1863), usually known as P. A. Munch, was a Norwegian historian, known for his work on the medieval history of Norway. (visit link)
