    Walking towards?

    This was a perfect walk after a great meal at the garden. Not crowded at all. The history walk was well marked .

    Map outlining all the sculptures, their artists, and their location within the park.

    Beautiful and easily accessible sculpture park that's well worth your time when visiting Oslo. No hiking shoes needed, the inclines are overall mild and the trails well maintained. There are 45 statues to see, we managed to visit most of them over a meandering hour and a half. There's also a camping area at the top, pretty neat. Lovely way to spend a sunny afternoon - sculpture orienteering! There are several geocaches in the park as well.

    We highly prefer outdoor activities to museums so this was right up our alley. It's also free, so you really can't beat it. It's right off of the trolley stop, so it's easy to get to as well. This is a really large sculpture park. It's a beautiful park and the sculptures are well incorporated. It's very mature focused, not an overly groomed park. There are benches throughout if you're looking to relax. At the entrance, there is a map that shows different paths and where the sculptures are. This is a good way to make sure you see them all if that's what you're looking for. There are some very bizarre statues. It's a very hilly park, so you'll get your exercise in. There is one place in the park that has a really good view of the city. This was one of our favorite things that we did in Oslo and I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting!

    This park is fabulous. Lots of paths and off the beaten paths wth sculptures scattered throughout the park. Bring hiking shoes or good sneakers and plan to give your legs a good workout. There are great views of Oslo and the fjords near the top. The sculptures are neat and some talk to you... even a lamppost. The scream "sculpture" was a let down but this park is awesome. Dogs are allowed. I even saw some running freely which kind of scared me at first because the dog was large and no owner was in sight. But the dog was not interested in me at all. There's a cafe and a restaurant on site. It is easy to get to by tram and there is a parking lot.

    Sculptures and installations all over this beautiful city park in Oslo.

    Always a must- okay maybe NOT if you have been twice and in the last 7 years…read more.. But if it's your first time in Oslo especially give yourself at least 2 hours to walk all the way in and about, around and out. This is a classic outdoor sculpture garden all done by one man-so not common. Massive grounds. Beautiful park walk and fountains and views. Iconic place and I highly suggest you go to his small museum first so you can get more history on Gustav Vigeland and the evolution of the his 200 pieces turning into the "Frognerpark."

    This is a sculpture garden filled with over 200 sculptures (and over 600 individual figures)…read moredesigned by Gustav Vigeland from 1940 to 1949. It seems to be known as both Frognerparken (Frogner Park) and Vigeland Park. I doubt you have ever seen anything like this. I am including lots of photos because it's impossible to describe what this is like. The focus of the sculptures is the cycle of life and this is literally shown as babies turn into children, who then turn into adolescents, adults, and old people, and eventually die -- as the circle continues. You will notice that the statues are very realistic and are not romanticized in the least. They are regular human beings. You will also notice, of course, that they are all naked. The purpose of this is to emphasize their humanity without relying on class or wealth that becomes more obvious when people wear clothes. This might make some people uncomfortable, but it is done without any intention of being erotic. The inspiration for Vigeland's work comes from Rodin's nude sculptures. However, the realistic human statues remind me of Pompei -- real human people caught in a fragment of time. That said, is it worth your time while in Olso? Absolutely! This will overwhelm your senses and be etched in your memory -- in a good way.
