About this audio guide
This guide to the Oslo Bazaars, the red brick arcades wrapped around Oslo Cathedral, follows the architect Christian Heinrich Grosch and the butchers he built them for in the eighteen forties. It then turns to an August in nineteen seventy, when a small group of Norwegian craftspeople carried their work in under the arches. Best heard standing beneath one of the arches on the cathedral side.
