Without a doubt, the most strange and interesting destination of my trip was to the Emanuel Vigeland Museum and Mausoleum. Emanuel is the brother of the famous artist responsible for the Park in Oslo with all the naked statues in various positions. Emanuel built this building as an art studio but changed his mind and had the windows bricked in. 
Inside the mausoleum there is a tiny steel door that you go through to enter the tomb. The tomb's walls have a continuous mural that becomes more clear the longer you stay inside. The acoustics are unbelievable and what would be a tiny sound is carried and fills the room. This place was both creepy and overwhelmingly beautiful at the same time. Here is a link to the Museum if you want to see examples of the art painted on the walls of the tomb.http://www.emanuelvigeland.museum.no/museum.htm
