Roseslottets Storstue
Roseslottets Storstue is a café and visitor hub at the entrance to the art installation in Marka near Oslo. It provides a comfortable space where visitors can find refreshments, learn about the site, and browse souvenirs before or after exploring the artwork.
The art installation opened in 2020 to commemorate Norway's occupation in 1940 and its liberation in 1945. It was created by artist brothers Eimund and Vebjørn Sand and is planned to remain on site until the end of 2026.
The site is named after the White Rose, a German resistance group that opposed violence without fighting back. This name carries meaning for visitors today, connecting the place to themes of peaceful resistance and protecting human values.
Most visitors reach the site by taking the T-bane train to Frognerseteren station, a journey of about 30 minutes from downtown Oslo. The café has accessible toilets and designated wheelchair parking at the entrance, with general parking available a short walk away.
Five large golden sails mark the art installation and are visible from across Oslo. These sails represent the five years of war and create a striking visual symbol that shapes the city's skyline.
