Experience an extraordinary art installation in the forest above Oslo, with a view over the city and the Oslofjord. With almost 300 artworks, the Rose Castle tells the story of the occupation of Norway during the second world war, and the basic principles of democracy, rule of law and humanism that were then put out of force. The core principles of the Rose Castle is to remind us that all human beings are born free and equal, the contrast to what we experienced during the years of occupation. The artistic language aims to engage, challenge and confront.
