About Oslo Spektrum

Oslo Spektrum is a multi-purpose indoor arena in central Oslo, opened in December 1990 and run by Nova Spektrum. It stands next to Oslo Central Station, the bus terminal, the Jernbanetorget public transport hub and the international ferry terminals. The arena is best known for hosting the annual Nobel Peace Prize Concert and the 1996 Eurovision Song Contest. Its exterior walls are covered with a mosaic of almost 400,000 unique tiles containing fragments of prints by the artist Rolf Nesch, and in 2004 it received the Oslo City Council's award for outstanding architecture.
