won't get by wandering around on your own.

Within the Akershus fortress complex the Norwegian Resistance Museum stands adjacent
to a memorial for resistance fighters executed on the spot during WWII. The small but
worthwhile museum covers the dark years of German occupation, as well as the jubilant
day of 9 May 1945 when peace was declared. Artefacts include underground newspapers,
numerous maps and photographs, and, most intriguingly, a set of dentures that belonged to
a Norwegian prisoner of war in Poland that were wired to receive radio broadcasts.
