A new memorial in Oslo has been unveiled to commemorate the 77 victims of the 2011 Breivik massacre. On 22 July 2011, neo-Nazi Anders Breivik carried out a deadly attack in Norway, killing eight people with a car bomb in Oslo and shooting dead another 69, mostly teenagers, at a youth camp on Utoeya island.
The new memorial, called Upholding, features a large artwork showing a bird native to Utoeya island. The artwork is a stone mosaic, 12 metres high, and is supported by a blue steel frame. It also includes straw and sticks reflected in the water.
The memorial is located in Oslo's renovated government district, close to the location of the bomb blast that started the 2011 attack. The names of all 77 victims are engraved on the memorial.
The artist behind the memorial, Matias Faldbakken, said he had seen the bird on Utoeya island. Many of those killed on the island were teenagers involved with the Norwegian Labour Party's youth wing, the AUF.
Survivors and relatives of the victims gathered in Oslo for the unveiling of the memorial. Norway's Crown Prince Haakon and government officials also attended the inauguration ceremony.
Haakon also visited the new 22 July Centre, Norway's national memorial and education centre dedicated to the attacks. The centre is a permanent reminder of the events of 22 July 2011 and provides education and support to those affected by the attack.
