St. Edmund's Church is a small church in Møllergata in Oslo, Norway. It was built in 1883–84, and is home to the Norwegian congregation of the Church of England. The church was consecrated by the Bishop of Fulham on 27 July 1884. Queen Maud used to visit this church, and there is a bust of her in the church, which otherwise is adorned with stained glass windows. The church has a modest size. While churches often dominate their surroundings and towers stretch over neighbouring buildings, this church is modestly squeezed between larger buildings. It is said, however, that it came more into its own after some old buildings around it were demolished. The church has – despite its small size – the shape of a cathedral. It was designed by architect Paul Due and Bernhard Steckmest, in yellow and red brick in a simple, neo-Gothic style. The church was restored in 1990, and the tower was then replaced with a new one of roughly the same shape and size as the original.

Rockefeller Music Hall
Rockefeller Music Hall

Rockefeller Music Hall, ordinarily referred to simply as Rockefeller, is a concert venue located in Torggata, downtown Oslo, Norway. The building, known as "Torggata Bad" ("Market Street Bath"), used to house a public bathing facility. To this day the surrounding floors of the building consists of Tilt Oslo, Torggata Bar, Oslo Streetfood and Oslo Bar & Bowling. The music hall was established in 1986, and it can host between 1600 and 2000 people depending on the type of gig, show or festival currently running. Rockefeller is owned by the Rockefeller Music Hall Company, of which also runs John Dee (pax 488), which is a smaller venue located in the lower floors of the same building complex. The company also owns a slightly bigger venue, Sentrum Scene (pax 1750), located across the street at Arbeidersamfunnets Plass. Both Rockefeller and Sentrum Scene are known for its high volume of concert events, very often involving pop and rock music, as well as cultural events with Norwegian and international artists such as the annual Inferno Festival, By:Larm and Musikkfest Oslo. The venue consists of a main hall, a large gallery, a smaller upper gallery, a rooftop with bar, and several lounge bars across the sides of the main music hall. Several popular podcasts are regularly recorded at Rockefeller, as well as public radio shows hosted by NRK, among others. The Coldplay EP Trouble - Norwegian Live EP was recorded at the venue.
