Wander Around Frogner Park

Free to enter at any time of year, wandering around the famous Frogner Park is the next thing you should do in Olso. Frogner Park is a public park located in the West End borough of Frogner in Oslo, Norway. The park is historically part of Frogner Manor, and the manor house is located in the south of the park and houses the Oslo Museum. Both the park, the entire borough of Frogner as well as Frognerseteren derive their names from Frogner Manor.

This park is a joy for the installations by 20th-century sculptor Gustav Vigeland. In total, there are 212 sculptures made of granite and bronze from Iddefjord. Realist works by Vigeland sometimes feature strange subjects, such as a man battling with infants or a woman being ridden by a child using her slicked-back hair as reins. Like the Angry Boy (Sinnataggen), several of these pieces have become associated with Oslo. Between the eastern Main Gate and the Fountain, The Angry Boy is a part of the 100-meter-long ensemble known as The Bridge. A few hundred meters farther along the same axis is the Monolith, a raised 14.12-meter monument made up of 121 human figures. One enormous block of granite was carved into this piece alone over the course of 14 years.
