Frognerkilen with Oscarshall, a summer night on Fleskum Farm, Kalvøya in the sun, a summer house in Asker, and Munch’s Starry Night.
The Karl Johan in snow and starvation, in the rain, an anxious moment, and in the summer. Industrial buildings on the Akerselven River, skis in Majorstuen, and more views of the city.
Paintings from cities like London, Paris and Oslo, by Ford Madox Brown, Jean-Louis Forain, Félicien Rops, Christian Krohg, and others.
The evils of absinthe in paintings by Degas, Raffaëlli, Jean Béraud, and other booze like Bocks by Manet and Friant, with artists also drinking heavily.

Paintings by Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, Dagnan-Bouveret, LA Ring, and others all completed a century ago.
A glimpse inside Botticelli’s studio, an artist who foresaw his own death, an unusual Birth of Venus, the Ship Fools, and more painted stories from 1922.
Bare feet as a sign of rural poverty, among irregular peasant volunteer soldiers, and striking miners. But what about the kissing of feet?
