    Now if I was a young up-and-comer living in the fast lane of Oslo - if indeed Oslo has a fast lane…read more- then I'd probably live in Tjuvholmen, the ultra-modern tip of the peninsula emanating from the tourist-saturated Aker Brugge area. But since I'm an old down-and-outer, it was still worth strolling the area for the humorous public art and creative outdoor spaces which included an elaborate man-made beach that looked to draw other young up-and-comers, the ones who needed to be seen in their skivvies. The centerpiece was the privately owned, Renzo Piano-designed Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, which showcases American appropriation artists. How appropriate. Otherwise there were high-end restaurants and shops should you want to give up more kroners than you anticipated. RELATED - Exploring Norway?

    Tjuvholmen is a neighborhood in the borough Frogner in Oslo, Norway. It is located on a peninsula…read moresticking out from Aker Brygge into the Oslofjord. It is located east of Filipstad and south of Vika. The area was bought by the shipyard Akers Mekaniske Verksted in the mid 19th century, who planned to build a drydock there. The Norwegian National Academy of Ballet was located there. Since 2005, the area has been sold to private developers, who are conducting an urban renewal with housing. The area will have about 1,200 apartments by 2012. It is part of the Fjord City urban renewal program. The first element is tjuv 'thief', the last element is the finite form of holme m 'islet'. (The islet was later turned into a peninsula because of post-glacial rebound.) Thieves were executed here in the 18th century. An older (Danish) spelling of the name was "Tyveholmen". The architecture of the newer buildings are magnificent and I could not stop photographing the area. There are also many shopping, bars and restaurants. It is rapidly growing and becoming a popular tourist attraction in Oslo.
