A partial view of the Security Council Chamber.

On the wall is a mural, painted by the Norwegian artist Per Krohg in the colours and style reminiscent of a tapestry. The mural was donated to the United Nations by Norway in 1952. It shows a phenix rising from the ashes of war and slavery into a more peaceful world.
