For the joint Nordic theme, Food Culture, we present a dish from restaurant Maaemo, that has received three stars in the Michelin Guide, and a dish from the coastal steamer Hurtigruten, that travel the entire Norwegian coast-line from Bergen to Kirkenes. Kristin Granli designed the stamps, which will be issued on 15 April.
Four Norwegian cities are celebrating their anniversary with stamps. The oldest, Sarpsborg, which is celebrating its 1,000th anniversary, was founded by St. Olav. Kristin Granli also designed these stamps. The stamps will be issued on 15 April.
The Biathlon World Championships in Oslo are now over. The stamps with the denomination and country name in foil garnered a lot of attention, and both Norway Post and the designer of the stamps, Enzo Finger, have received acclaim for the stamps. In this magazine you will find the offered covers and other stamp products from the championships.
Europa stamps will be issued on 9 May across all of Europe. You can read more about these stamps in the June-issue of the information magazine. You can also sign up for our newsletter at www.posten.no/frimerker. In this way you will always be up-to-date on Norway Post´s issues and activities.

NEW STAMPS CITY ANNIVERSARIES

The weekend of 8 – 10 April Norway Post participated in two stamp exhibitions, Nordia 2016 in Jyväskylä and Nordposta 2016 in Hamburg.
We marked these occasions with both exhibition cards and personal stamps depicting motifs from the two cities. The city’s theater can be seen on Jyväskylä’s stamp. It was designed by architect Alvar Aalto and built in 1982. The motif for Hamburg is the Chilehaus office building, which was built between 1922 and 1924. It is included on the list of Hamburg’s cultural monuments and is located in a part of the city that is listed on UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
