SUMMARY:The University’s Astronomical Observatory
DESCRIPTION:November 17 \nThe Special Events Committee is very pleased to invite you to a guided visit of the University’s Astronomical Observatory at Solli in Oslo. \nThe observatory from 1833 is one of the oldest buildings built for the University. The architect\, Christian Heinrich Grosch\, cooperated closely with Professor of astronomy Christopher Hansteen. Parts of this neo-classical building were in themselves a large scientific instrument. As the city expanded\, it was no longer possible to use the observatory because of light pollution from the sky above. It therefore closed in 1934 and the operations moved to Blindern. \nThe Observatory is now a museum used mainly for teaching activities for school children. Danish-born Christian H. Grosch\, one of Norway’s most important architects\, also designed the university buildings in Karl Johans gate. The Observatory holds a special place amongst his buildings. \nBjørn Vidar Johansen\, Administrative Manager of the Section for Museum of University and Science History\, an expert on the history of the Observatory\, will guide us round this beautiful and interesting building\, which was thoroughly restored for the University of Oslo’s Bicentenary in 2011. \nDATE/TIME:       Thursday\, November 17 at 10:45 (for 11:00 Group 1) \n[Thursday\, November 17 at 11:45 (for 12:00 for a second group if needed)] \nPLACE:               Observatoriegata 1\, 0254 Oslo \n  \n  \n  \nThe Observatory is located a couple of minutes walk from the roundabout at Solli plass. Walk down Observatoriegata and follow the signpost pointing to the right into Observatorie terrasse\, a cul-de-sac (blind alley) till you see the Observatory on your left. \n  \n  \nPRICE:                NOK 25. – for a gift for the guide.
