The total price for the project was 70 million norwegian kroner, equal to 7 million Euros or around 8.5 million USD. The project has received widespread media attention. The day of opening, 7.500 people had already booked a table. Journalists from over 30 countries were present. "Under" in norwegian carries a double meaning, meaning both under and wonder.
