Room 11 - Villa Solliløkken

In Room 11 we present a reconstruction of a ballroom from a villa at Solli in Christiania (Oslo). The ballroom exemplifies a typical Neoclassical interior from the 1830s and 1840s. The architect is Christian Heinrich Grosch (1881–1865), Norway’s first professional architect. In 1940, the museum acquired part of the interior of the villa before it was razed. Since then, the interior has been exhibited in the museum.
