After lunch, we continued our hike along the Akerselva River. The next neighborhood or area we crossed was an art school area. It was another old industrial area of Oslo. I never heard a name of the school but we did get to see plenty of art in the area. This neighborhood appeared to be old and somewhat run down, but it was easy to see that it was an exciting area for all the people that were here.

The first photo was the start of when our guide told us that this was an art school area. I had thought this was just graffiti but after he told us, I looked closer and could see that it was not random tagging or graffiti.

We saw other signs that we were in an “artsy” area such as you can see in the second photo. I don’t know of any significance, just that this was part of the art school.

We were here on a Sunday and they have a ‘Sunday Market’. It was sort of like a funky flea market but much of what was for sale was the art of the students. Booths and tables were set up both indoors and outdoors. You can see that while this is part of the art school, it doesn’t look like most classrooms but rather like some recycled old industrial space.

Part of the art school is in the fourth photo, along with some of the Sunday Market. You can see that we are still along the Akerselva River which really made the whole area very nice.

Speaking of art, I love an art school that produces such wonderful art works like this tie-dyed bird box. We didn’t buy it but I have some paint.
