A bold, retro-inspired travel poster featuring Oslo’s iconic tiger striding past Østbanehallen. Rendered in crisp lines and saturated colour, this piece draws on classic mid-century travel poster design to capture the energy of the city’s historic gateway.
The Story of the Oslo Tiger
Oslo is often called “Tigerstaden” - the Tiger City. The nickname originates from an 1870 poem by Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, where the city was portrayed as dangerous and unforgiving. Over time, Oslo reclaimed the image, transforming the tiger into a symbol of urban strength, resilience, and modern identity.
Today, the bronze tiger outside Østbanehallen stands as a confident emblem of the city - no longer a warning, but a badge of pride. This poster reimagines that symbol in motion, giving the Oslo tiger new life in a graphic, contemporary travel-poster style.
