Today we had another leisurely morning before going to The Viking Ship Museum and The National Gallery.
The The Viking Ship Museum displays the Viking Age Oseberg ship, the Gokstad ship and the Tune ship alongside sledges, beds, a (horse) cart, wood carving, tent components, buckets and other grave goods.

The National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design (The National Gallery) is the national museum of art of Norway. Among its collection is one of the versions of Edvard Munch's THe Scream. Besides many paintings by Munch, other Norwegian painters represented with paintings include Dahl, Gude, Arne Ekeland, Tidemand, Christian Krohg ("Albertine To See Police") and Lars Jorde ("Landscape, Jutland). Non-Norwegians with paintings in this art museum include Goyen, Bol, Pieter Elinga ("Letter Carrier"), Claude Monet ("Rainy Weather, Etretat"), Modigliani, Van Gaugh, Renoir, Cezanne and Gauguin. One of my favorite's was Winter Night in the Mountains by Harald Sohlberg.

Bogstad Gård was the home of wealthy merchant and industrialist Peder Anker, and the count and countess Wedel Jarlsberg. It is a working farm that has animals, a play area for children, great walking trails, a historic park and exhibitions. We just walked a little on the grounds and went to the shop.
Last night we went to the Underwater Pub where on Tuesday and Thursday nights professional opera singers come and sing a few sets. We had a fun time and the singers were actually pretty good.
