       In Norwegian, "moose at sunset" (elg i solnedgang) is an expression meaning kitschy and tasteless. This stems from the extreme popularity of the motif in folk art during the decades following WW2 to the point where most homes would have a painting of a contemplative moose at sunset, perhaps standing by a small lake in the forest, hanging on their walls. #NorwayFacts

       Norwegians still enjoy their sunsets (who doesn't?) and their meese (I know, but it should be), but most take care to enjoy them separately these days so as not to appear "harry", another Norwegian expression meaning kitschy and tasteless.
