The tiger in front of Oslo Central Station is one of the city's most photographed "residents." To mark the city's 1,000th anniversary in 2000, the Eiendomsspar (Eiland Public Works) donated the tiger to the city of Oslo. The statue was created by Elena Engelsen and is one of the first things arriving tourists encounter at Oslo Central Station. Oslo is nicknamed Tigerstaden ("Tiger City"), a name familiar to most Norwegians. The name was first used by the poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. The 1870 poem "Sidste Sang" describes the fight between a horse and a tiger; the tiger represents the dangerous city and the horse the safe life of the countryside. Since the publication of this poem, Oslo has also been known as the Tiger City.

Symbol of the "dangerous" city
Norwegians also call Oslo the Tiger City, after a poem by the famous Norwegian poet Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. The statue was erected in front of Oslo Central Station in 2000 to commemorate the city's 1,000th anniversary and is a popular photo opportunity, especially among tourists. It's nothing spectacular, but a picture doesn't hurt either.
