What I thought at first was a quaint gag in this Oslo park turns out to be a permanent (and functional) art exhibition to celebrate 100 years of Norwegian independence.
Indeed, these are three original Parisian automated toilets renovated and reinstalled in Oslo in 2005, together bearing the slogan most associated with the French republic.

This is Oslo’s opera house, which is built in such a way that you can fully explore its bright white rooftop. Scamper up the sloped roof and it makes for a cool lookout with a view of downtown Oslo.

This is the Holmenkollen Ski Jump in Oslo. The only steel ski jump in the world, it was refurbished for championships in 2011 and there are more renovations underway at the park as Olso gets set to host a biathlon competition in 2016.
