We will not go into the long and exciting discussions that led to this decision, but mark the anniversary with The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology 's favorite theme: Industrial history! For the royal city of Christiania had by 1925 developed into the leading industrial city of Kristiania. And like Oslo, the city experienced a development in which industry was gradually replaced by other types of city functions: Trade and service, offices and media, housing and recreation.

In tonight's lecture, we will hear about some of the largest and most famous industrial companies - and some lesser-known ones - how they started, grew, shaped the city and disappeared to make room for new things. From Aker to Aker Brygge, from Nyland to the opera, from Spigerverket to Nydalsbyen, from Myrens to Cæsar, from Hjula to Månefisken, from beer and smoke at Bislet to health colleges and from Alna brickworks to Alna Centre.

Dag Andreassen is a historian and conservator at The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology . He has worked on Oslo's industrial history, among other things.
