Wow, I didn't realise that! I knew it was originally going to be a place to display his works, then the windows were bricked in after he'd decided it was to be his final resting place.

I also saw some of his stained-glass windows on two separate visits to the Cathedral: I attended Midnight Mass on the 24th and a Bach High Mass on the 26th. I really enjoyed singing O Come All Ye Faithful in Norwegian, which felt very strangely normal.

His brother's sculptures are pretty weird too, aren't they? ;-)
