The Norwegian composer and violinist Ole B. Bull was a big star both in Europe and in the USA in the 1800s. He played on the biggest stages around the world and in 1876 he ascended the Pyramid of Cheops in Cairo. Here he plays from the top on his 66th birthday. When he died, 15 steamboats and countless other boats followed his coffin from his home Lysøen and into Bergen where he now has his final resting place.
