Answer : OSLO
Oslo, formerly Christiania or Kristiania, is the capital and largest city of Norway. It lies at the head of Oslo Fjord in the southeastern part of the country. The city was founded by King Harald Hardraade about 1050, and about 1300 the Akershus fortress was built by Haakon V. After the city was destroyed by fire in 1624, Christian IV of Denmark-Norway built a new town farther west, under the walls of the Akershus fortress, and called it Christiania. The growth of Christiania’s population in the 19th century was due in part to the absorption of surrounding municipalities, and the city replaced its rival, the west-coast port of Bergen, as Norway’s largest and most influential city. The city was renamed Oslo in 1925 and developed rapidly after World War II.
Oslo is the center of Norwegian trade, banking, industry, and shipping. Oslo Harbour is the largest, as well as the busiest, in the country. The leading industries are the production of consumer goods and the electrotechnical and graphic industries. The important Norwegian fur auctions are held at Økern, to the northeast. Oslo is also the junction of road, rail, and airway networks of the country.
The leading Norwegian cultural institutions are to be found in Oslo. Near the oldest part of the University of Oslo are found the Historical Museum and the National Museum of Art, Architecture, and Design, the latter of which contains an excellent collection of paintings, especially works by Edvard Munch. At Tøyen are the botanical gardens and several museums, including the Munch Museum. At Bygdøy, the Norwegian Folk Museum, the Viking Ship Museum, the Fram Museum, the Kon-Tiki Museum, and the Norwegian shipping museum serve as reminders of Oslo’s maritime connections. Frogner Park, located in the western section of the city, is noted for its display of works by the modern sculptor Gustav Vigeland.
Oslo has exceptional natural advantages for winter sports, especially cross-country skiing. The city’s annual Holmenkollen ski-jump competitions bring together participants from all the leading ski nations, and the site also houses an interesting ski museum.
