Spread over a hundred acres, the Sculpture Park is one of Norway's major attractions. The park has easy public transport access and is free around the year.
Also known as Vegeland Park, it is the largest park in Oslo and is home to 212 sculptures created by Gustav Vigeland. The naked statues depict various human emotions and experiences.
While the sculptures are the main attraction of Frogner Park, it is popular with joggers, walkers, and others who come to the park to enjoy nature, arts, and history.
The park is known for its unique sculptures that depict the various stages of human life, including the bond between parent and child.
Vegeland's sculptures are open to interpretation. This one has been called the Circle, Circle of Life, and Man and Woman inside a ring.
A man juggling four small children is one of the popular sculptures of Frogner Park. In present times, an act like this would rate a call to child welfare services. It's all in the artists mind!
The Wheel of Life is sculptured as a garland of men, women, and children holding on to each other, perhaps suggesting eternity.
Besides combining nature, art, and history, Frogner Park offers a range of activities and sights, including walking paths, bike rentals, sports facilities, a cafe, and bathing facilities.
The fountain sculpture at Frogner Park depicts six naked men struggling to hold a large saucer-shaped vessel aloft while a curtain of water spills down around them.
At Vigeland Park's highest point stands the roughly 17-metre-high Monolith. The sculpture is carved out of one stone block. The sculpture shows 121 human figures of all ages huddled together.
Frogner Park, when viewed from the Monolith, is serene and inviting, offering a picturesque landscape with vast green spaces, trees, unique sculptures, and enchanting natural scenery.
The vast park is popular with dog lovers. Two dogs play in the snow at Frogner Park, Oslo
