Oslo, Norway: Public Library

Don't look up when you enter the main part of the Oslo Public Library. You might consider that the building was done on a budget, and then wonder what was keeping that top part up.

The main building is the jewel of a system that stretches all over the city. It was part of the redevelopment program in that portion of Oslo, and it opened in 2020. It won a variety of awards along the way.

The idea was inspire people in the area to come inside and explore new places. The inside is constructed with all sorts of odd angles toward that purpose. It's an interesting place to see, certainly, and deserves a look.
