There are many fjords, there's an ethnic group Saami and the traditional clothing of these people is nice and colorful, you have nynorsk and bokmål and I used to know some differences between them but forgot it xD. Norway is a rich country because of oil in the sea. Therefore everything is way more expensive than in most European countries. There's a big fishing industry as well. Your music industry started evolve quite soon and there was a decent rock scene in 90s. Some Norwegian bands are A-ha, Seigmen, Zeromancer, Dimmu Borgir, Kaizers Orchestra, CC cowboys, Gåte... and if you want to hear something very local-pub-like you'd probably should listen to Banana Airlines 😂.
One of your famous writers is Jo Nesbø and his books are awesome.
One of your weirdest and wackiest film directors is without doubt Tommy Wirkola who directed for example kill bill parody, Kill buljo. 😂
Some Norwegian horror movies are Rovdyr or Fritt Vilt - those are ones I remember watching anyway.
I'm not sure about this but I guess opera in Oslo was built and opened around 2007 or 2008?
Also there's an interesting study programme for animators at Volda university college.
