Den Nationale Scene (The National Stage) in #Bergen, likely early 1920s.

The theatre was opened in 1909, and its premiere show was Erasmus Montanus, a satire on the meeting between educated pompous Danish elites and rural Norwegian farmers by Ludvig Holberg.

The entrance and foyer was bombed during the war, but rebuilt temporarily, before getting refurbished in 2001.

Musikkpaviljongen – the music gazebo – in the city park in the early 30s. Quite similar to today's view from Hotel Norge.

The gazebo was bought as a gift by businessman, consul and politician Fredrik Georg Gade sr., inspired by #Moorish #architecture.

When I biked past this building today, they were refurbishing those balconies!

This is Allégaten around 1900. Today the street is known for the huge brutalist natural sciences faculty building (Realfagsbygget) on the left-hand side of the street. Before 1977, the Nygård park stretched all the way to Allégaten instead, which is what we see here.

#Bergen #TrainStation, some time in the 30s.

Opened in 1913, the station is – still – the terminus of the Oslo-Bergen train line. It was built on parts of an old graveyard, and as late as 2016, two skulls were found when maintenance was being done on the tracks.
