Hi. Just a small comment on the building. It used to be Oslo University Library, but this then moved out to a brand-new building on the main campus at Blindern quite a few years ago. It is now the National Library (Nasjonalbiblioteket) and has the address Henrik Ibsens gate 110. See for example https://no.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henrik_Ibsens_gate_(Oslo) and http://www.ub.uio.no/om/tall-og-fakta/ub-200-aar/bibliotek/
Wonderful mural, though!
