National Theater Description

Northwest of Eidsvollplass is the National Theater, a neo-Classical building designed by H. Bull (1895-99). The interior is partly in art nouveau style, with fine ceiling paintings in the auditorium. In front of the building are bronze statues (by S. Sinding) of Ibsen and Bjørnson; to the rear is a statue of the actor J. Brun. Northeast of the National Theater, in the gardens on Karl Johansgate, is a statue of the playwright Ludvig Holberg, a native of Bergen, who created the Danish-Norwegian comedy.
