Is it a horror movie? No, it's Christmas spirit in #Bergen!

Nothing reminds a bergenser about the Yule Miracle like cold, snowless streets with holiday decorations. Here in 1928 for a surprisingly dry(?) late-year shot.

Keen-eyed viewers will recognise the street as Vaskerelven (The Washing river), named so due to the creek that used to run here long before this picture was taken. Had it not been for the haze, you could probably almost have seen the city theatre, Den Nationale Scene in the distance.

Lille Lungegaardsvann (Small Lake Lungegaard) in 1930, a few years after it was artificially made into a lake by filling the "empty" landmass seen in the background, but before it was built to be the park we know today.

On the left, the #Bergen Public Library, in the middle the city power converter station, and on the right the art collection building of milling industrialist Rasmus Meyer – still a historical art gallery today.

Lilleborg factories around the time the horses were replaced by trucks. Lilleborg produced a variety of items, but is perhaps most well known for its soap production at this time.

Everyday life during WWII.

Friends sitting in the "sun wall" in spring, outside the Ole Bull Cinema in #Bergen.

Ole Bull ran from 1937 to 1981, but the same building is still used as stage venue and theater.

King Haakon VII of Norway, on a visit to Haukeland hospital in 1945, just after WWII. Some years later the Faculty of Medicine was established in #Bergen. This marked Norway’s first dedicated medical school outside Oslo.
