About

Hvelvet

Hvelvet is Sentralen's most unique venue. This is an intimate black box in Christiania Sparebank's old bank vault. During the refurbishment of the building, it was chosen to retain the old, thick vault doors in to the venue, the original staircase and the messanine in the room. Hvelvet is located on the top floor of the bank's old vault. Once upon a time, there were safe deposit boxes!

This room has no natural light, and the walls are adorned with dark balusters. The stairs leading up to the mezzanine and the walls create an atmospheric ambiance. Alongside the mezzanine, there are seating benches offering ample space for a large audience.

There is certainly no such place in Oslo!

There is a separate backstage attached to Hvelvet, with its own stage entrance at the back of the venue.
