Statue of Haakon VII of Norway in Oslo, Bronze monument at June Seventh Square, Oslo, Norway
The bronze statue portrays King Haakon VII in a forward-leaning stance, measuring several meters in height outside the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The monument commemorates King Haakon VII, who ruled Norway from 1905 to 1957, and was unveiled on August 3, 1972, marking his 100th birth anniversary.
Sculptor Nils Aas won a competition among 53 Norwegian artists to create this statue, marking a generational shift in Norwegian public art.
The statue stands in a central location near public transportation connections, with guided tours of the area available through the Oslo Tourist Information Center.
The forward-leaning posture of the statue came from the artist's inspiration after seeing a tilted pole in Arnold Haukeland's studio.
