Further proof of Stavanger's coolness...

Thoughtful randomness of art...

and not so random...

there are 23 of these cast iron figures, based on a casting of the sculptor's own body...
placed around the town to give the appearance of an imaginary column from the Museum of Fine Arts to the city's harbor...

the creative work of Antony Gormley, entitled "Broken Column"...

A cozy spot for a cup of coffee...

or two...

with a slice of Norwegian Almond Cake...
with chocolate drizzled on top...

in all its coolness does not appear to have a website...

In the center of town...

a small farmer's market...

and at the harbor...

fresh fish daily...

What more do you need?
