About
Marmorsalen
Marmorsalen is the former bank's transaction hall on the ground floor. Here, we have preserved the original stone floor and the impressive marble interior, featuring authentic marble from Fauske.
Above the freestanding bar at the back of the room, the coffered ceiling holds the artwork Oscillations by Camilla Løw – a light installation made of neon tubes.
Large, old windows facing Øvre Slottsgate, along with the glass pyramid in the ceiling, allow plenty of natural light. At its highest point, the ceiling in this room reaches 9 meters! The space can also be divided using advanced curtain systems on the walls and ceiling.
Marmorsalen can accommodate all technical needs, offering top-tier sound, lighting, and streaming technology. It is one of Oslo's most beautiful venues.
The room has vibrant acoustics, ideal for amplified or lightly amplified music, with strong reverberation. This can be significantly reduced using acoustic curtains.
The capacity for different setups is indicative and can be adjusted based on additional requirements.
