Amazing display of statuary by sculptor Gustav Vigeland. His remarkable fascination with the human form clearly on display! The park is immense in size and scope. Truly fascinating is he continued his work during the Nazi occupation of Norway. We were lucky to experience it all on a clear sunny day, and an added attraction are all the beautiful flowers. Worth putting on your “Oslo To Do” list.

I never thought that this park was actually something I was going to like ! I had to spend a day in town with my toddler and I thought that this park would be something easy enough to do. It turned out that we got our money's worth ! This place is HUGE, and I did not know that before, but every single statue is different ! I though that there were just a few unique ones, but no, they are all unique and fascinating in their own way. The symbolism of the sculptures and the general organization of the park gives grand vibes and on the top of that, there is a great kid's playground by the entrance ! Go there, it is 100% worth it !

Beautiful statues in stone and bronze, by a very busy sculptor. A view I recognice from postcards back in the days when my parents were on vacation together. Interesting to see them with my own eyes. Lots of people, as usual when travelling. Lucky thing the park is huge. The parking lot however did not intrude too much on the area, i.e. it was very small and crowded. The fact that there are toll road cameras all over the city, and no info on prices, did make our trip to Oslo a bit of a disappointment. And we did not stay very long.

Frognerparken or The Vigeland Sculpture Park is a large park situation in the heart of Oslo. This park is designed around the statue creations of Gustav Vigeland. These statues are the central theme to this park. Vigeland has a very distinctive style of his portrayal of the human body. I won't go into an artist critique here, but these statues present his idealized images of the human body both in individual characterizations and in tandem with one or more other figures. To the modern mind, these are very interesting portrayals. To some, however, they may find a portion of these a bit offensive. I have heard people saying as much while viewing these sculptures. This is not a judgement, this is just to let you know what you are going to see if you visit this park. This is a very popular park. Unless you come here very early in the morning, you are going to be visiting the park, and viewing the sculptures, with a lot of other people. I am sure if you study the photographs of this park, presented here on Yelp, you will easily see what you can expect. Overall, I have mixed feelings about this park. Sure, it is an open and airy place to visit. And sure, you get to see the sculptures of Vigeland, but it is not a great place to come and relax or to quietly and slowly stroll around and enjoy the environment, as there are always so many people visiting this park. If you are looking for an experience like that, it may be better to go to Botanisk hage. Overall though, this is a fun park, defined by the sculptures of a single artist. It is a must see in Oslo.

I love this place, one of the best things to see in Norway. The statues are amazing and there are so many to see, it is a lovely walk up to the monolith. The park itself is large and you could spend hours here. I definitely preferred a summer visit as it is not as much fun in the cold, but worth a visit. The hop on bus stops outside but it is walkable to Oslo centre or the bus/tram stop near by. This place is a must see when visiting Oslo, I will return, just to come here again.

Only thing to do in Oslo in the morning so took trolley #12 and walked across Frogner Park. Had the whole park to myself except for a jogger or two. Everything is by the spectacular bridge (it was early so the museum was closed) with bronze statues.

Beautifully well designed public Park to walk about ,to look and study the well carved statues done by the famous Nowegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. The Park has over 200 sculptures in granite, bronze and wrought iron. Their actions , expressions and emotions are simply awesome!!! We had a wonderful time wondering around the park statues and its garden. Lots to see and lots to take great pictures of!!! It's fun to pose like statutes and take pictures. Plenty of birds and geese in the Park too. Alot of little areas to sit and relax too.We stop by its Apen Kafe for some food. Certainly must visit while in Oslo !!

Large park area basically on the edge of the centre of Oslo. Huge number of Vigeland statues spread throughout the park. It was easy to find parking nearby - wintertime for us! - and the park is relatively flat so made for easy strolling, even in the icy conditions. Well worth visiting - I imagine it would be more amazing in summer!

Vigeland Sculpture Park features 212 intertwined human figures. Although the brainchild of Vigeland, the monolith needed a team of three masons who spent 14 years to complete his vision. Gustav Vigeland (11 April 1869 – 12 March 1943), born as Adolf Gustav Thorsen, occupies a special position among Norwegian sculptors, both in the power of his creative imagination and in his productivity. He is most associated with the Vigeland installation, and he is also the designer of the Nobel Peace Prize medal. In 1921 the City of Oslo decided to demolish the house where Vigeland lived and to build a library. After a long dispute, Vigeland was granted a new building from the city where he could work and live; in exchange, he promised to donate to the city all his subsequent works, including sculptures, drawings, engravings and models. Vigeland moved to his new studio on Nobels gate in the borough of Frogner in 1924. His studio was located in the vicinity of the park, which he had chosen as the definitive location for his fountain. Over the following twenty years, Vigeland was devoted to the project of an open exhibition of his works, which later turned into what is known as Vigelandsanlegget in Frogner Park. The Vigeland installation features 212 bronze and granite sculptures all designed by Gustav Vigeland. The sculptures culminate in the famous Monolith (Monolitten), with its 121 figures struggling to reach the top of the sculpture. Some art critics considered Vigeland's sculptures to be expressions of Nazi or fascist aesthetics, and he has been compared to Arno Breker. Writing in Verdens Gang, a newspaper started by former Norwegian resistance members shortly after the German occupation of Norway ended in 1945, Pola Gauguin wrote that the Vigeland installation "reeks of Nazi mentality.” The works in the installation depict individuals variously possessed: in agony and shock, rapture and torture, from birth to death and beyond. Whatever may be said of the art, it is powerful to see. FREE! entrance

Loved wandering around this large park looking at the sculptures. Be sure to really stop and look at the detail. The bridge sculptures were a favourite with the various parent and child. With the snow it looked beautiful.
