The Rose Castle

High above Oslo lies the gilded Rose Castle - a large-scale outdoor art installation which tells the story of the occupation of Norway in 1940-1945. With the narrative of the five years of war as the backdrop, the Rose Castle tries to dig out the pillars of our society: the rule of law, democracy, and humanism. The entire Rose Castle as such will stand as a worthy, quiet, and clear NO; to intolerance, anti-Semitism and racism – and remind us of and "bring to life" the values we were deprived of during the occupation. The installation consists of close to 300 paintings, sculptures as well as sound- and light installations by the artists Vebjørn Sand and Eimund Sand.
