Vigeland park is full of statues by Gustav Vigeland. He worked for the city for 15 years making statues to fill the park. I think there are something like 180 statues there, and all the people depicted are naked, except for the statue he made of himself, which is fully-clothed! The statues are sometimes funny, sometimes sad, but always beautiful. At the top of the park, there is a huge monolith of bodies, surrounded by circles of statues depicting the cycles of life, from babies to elderly. There are also gorgeous wrought iron gates both there and at the entrance to the park. It is an absolutely stunning place. I've been there in different seasons, since it is my favorite place to go in Oslo, and the prettiest is in July/August, when all the flowers are in bloom. The park is filled with flowers, and is a great place for a picknick when the weather is nice. In winter, with the snow, the park is much more stark, although still quite beautiful. Vigeland park is definitely a must-see for anyone in Oslo!!
