Oslo, Norway 1964

Description

The Colosseum Cinema was originally built in 1928 and is still among the largest cinemas in the world. The whole building was rebuilt in 1964, after a fire, and Fehn directed the rebuilding. The exterior has much of the old shape and expression, but the dome was expanded slightly. The interior was renewed.
