For 150 years the Storting building has been the hub of political life in Norway. In this book, Peter Butenschøn takes us on a tour through the parliament building on Løvebakken hill, from the radiance of the Storting Chamber to the offices, restaurant and hidden nooks and crannies. Along the way, the author gives us a vivid glimpse of life in Norway's most important building - and of the many historical processes that have had an impact on it. The book is illustrated with new photographs taken by architecture photographer Ivan Brodey and an extensive collection of historical photographs.
