Roseslottet in Nordmarka opposite Frognerseteren is a unique art installation that tells about the occupation of Norway from 1940 – 1945. We see paintings by Vebjørn Sand that deal with the theme exhibited in the middle of the forest. The installation stands on a beautiful vantage point and will be visible from the center of Oslo. It's all inspired by "The White Rose", a non-violent resistance group that was formed by a group of students from Munich. In 1943, several of them were arrested and sentenced to death. "The White Rose" was referred to as one of the regime's most dangerous enemies. Accompanied by one of our authorized Oslo guides, who will tell much more of the story behind and about the artworks themselves, you will get far more out of your visit!

On the way up to the Roseslottet, you pass the Holmenkollen ski slope and the Ski Museum. Here you can stop with the opportunity for a tour of the museum, try your hand at zip-line from the tower with landing in the runway or take the ski simulator that takes you on a wild trip down the slalom slope. Holmenkollen also has its war history, At the end of February 1944, the NS authorities held the Youth Winter Games here. Approximately 500 NS boys and girls participated in the games.
