Fate of Picasso murals divide Norway

The fate of five Picasso murals on buildings damaged in the Anders Breivik bombing in Oslo in 2011 has led to a heated debate in Norway. A panel of experts has recommended demolishing the buildings and removing the murals. But art experts say that as the murals were designed by Picasso for those specific buildings, they should remain where they are.
The artworks were Picasso's first attempts at concrete murals.
Picasso's designs were sandblasted onto the concrete both outside and inside the buildings by the Norwegian artist Carl Nesjar.
Both buildings were damaged when Breivik set off a van bomb at the foot of H block in July 2011.
A panel of experts has decided the most economical solution would be to demolish the buildings, cut the murals out and place them elsewhere.
