At the Museum of Architecture there were two quite fascinating exhibits - one dealing with sustainability and architecture (mainly from a historical POV with heavy emphasis on the 20th century) and another on the Picasso murals on/in the Y and H-block government buildings in Oslo. I had never heard of Picasso working on murals in Norway but he did and alas the buildings that house them were damaged in the attacks of July 22, 2011. The KjARTan Slettemark exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art reminded me of one of the main points discussed in neuroethics class - if everyone took some kind of Brave New World's soma, would most of art disappear?
