Up until 1982, Aker Brygge consisted of a shipyard and industrial plants. From 1985, the area became one of Oslo's largest property projects - Tjuvholmen - and, with its many restaurants, cafes and the Astrup Fearnley Museum, a tourist magnet. We inspected it in the rain on a weekday but that just gave it a special atmosphere which we quite enjoyed - there were very few people around.
