An exhibition of the Royal Norwegian Embassy and the foundation "Byens Fornyelse" (Urban Renewal) in Oslo on Norwegian wooden architecture. Along with historic examples of Norwegian wooden architecture, the exhibition also showcases modern urban architecture. It also presents research results and new environmentally compatible technologies which have extended the application potential of massive wood as construction material for private and public buildings. The exhibition includes models of the renowned Svartlamoen project in Trondheim and of a Norwegian stave church on the scale of 1:10.

One focus of the historical part of the exhibition is on the "twin project", the Kongsnæs seaman station and the Hasselbakken Restaurant. Friends and promoters of this project have been working with great enthusiasm for several years to reconstruct the Kongsnæs reception hall in Potsdam and the Hasselbakken Restaurant in Oslo.

The aim of the exhibition is to present wood as a versatile building material and to promote the “twin project”.
