Sikkerhetsrådets sal/The Security Council Chamber

The interior of the Security Council Chamber was designed by the Norwegian architect Arnstein Arneberg. The materials were supplied by Norwegian producers and the painting is by Norwegian painter Per Krogh. In 2011, the UN building was restored, including the Security Council Chamber. The Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage was involved in the restoration precess. The book is a collaboration between the Directorate for Cultural Heritage and the National Museum of Architecture.
