The great central hall of Oslo Radhuset impresses with its monumental dimensions and colorful murals covering its walls. This hall, 21 meters high, hosts the annual Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony. The frescoes, created by some of the greatest Norwegian artists of the 20th century, narrate Norway history from its foundation to modern times. The marble floor with geometric patterns and decorated ceiling complete an environment of extraordinary solemnity celebrating Norwegian national identity.
