(note: OK--really long string there, if that doesn't work to get you to the NuArt Festival Map...

then go to their webpage/blog to find the original map link - it seems the box with the other map on the Aftenbladet newspaper article, up at the top of the article, is just marked with numbers 1 thru 9 & not much else?!)

Also note the Youtube Video at the bottom of the article - a video tour, from Sunday
(note: or I will post that video next - Yes, it's all in Norwegian...but you can still see the street art?!)
