"The Rooster" is a mosaic by Marit Bockelie on the exterior wall of the Gyllenborg Primary School at the intersection of Kirkegardssvegen and Skolegata in Tromsø, Norway. The image is of a rooster with a bugle instead of a beak, standing on top of a peaked roof. On the side of the building depicted below the rooster is a tree with green leaves. Five children and two cats are climbing in the tree branches. Gold paint on the small tiles make the image shine in the sunlight. The work was created in 2015. Marit Bockelie is a well-known artist from the Tromsø area. Several of her works are displayed on buildings in the city. Bockelie, who turned 90 in 2023 is still producing artworks.
