Great sculptures of unique type in park

It's such a nice park with unique sculptures, surround the fountain, these sculptures also talk about life cycle of human being. In the centre, topic again nice sculptures each giving a meaning that is well understood in the vigeland museum, so better to visit this...More

Fascinating

An amazing park with incredible sculptures. The park is huge. It reminds me of a European Central Park. A must see for art lovers.

Part of the park

See my review of Vigelund park. The two should be seen together. The museum has excellent notes ( in English) in each room so you can learn about the art and artist. The upstairs part was not so great- you could easily skip it

Plan for quality time with the sculptures

Vigeland Park is more than worth the time, billed as the world's largest sculpture park created by only one artist. It is impressive for its openness and size as well as the Vigeland sculptures. We were struck with the idealization of the human figures, many...More

Great place

This place doesn't have too much stuff. In Finnish we say "you can breath in there". It gives you a great perspective to the Vigeland.

I got there at 5 minutes to 4pm. The website said it closed at 5, but the staff said 4. They did let me blast through and what I saw looked pretty neat. The park is so worth it. Take a picnic and hang out...More

Someone said there is currently construction at the park. We are visiting in the end of May. How is the construction affecting the view of the sculptures?

Some weeks ago half of the main sculpture was under reconstruction, so that part was completely inaccessible. A week ago they were working on another part, but it was possible to walk around. It is not a good view when all... More

Yes, the park is open, accessible and worth the visit. There are several beautiful buildings in it, as well as nice views and sunsets.

Hi! Yes, you can take tram number 12. It leaves from the tram stop called Kontraskjæret, a 2-minute walk from the cruise pier (walk towards city hall), and stops right outside the entrance to the park. Enjoy!
