Norwegian Resistance Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 23:03:06

Within the Akershus fortress complex the Norwegian Resistance Museum stands adjacent to a memorial for resistance fighters executed on the spot during WWII. The small but worthwhile museum covers the dark years of German occupation, as well as the jubilant day of 9 May 1945 when peace was declared. Artefacts include underground newspapers, numerous maps and photographs, and, most intriguingly, a set of dentures that belonged to a Norwegian prisoner of war in Poland that were wired to receive radio broadcasts.
