This is the most beautiful park ever. I spent 12 days in Norway a few years ago, and 6 of them with my friend who lives near Oslo. We went to the park and museum twice, and spent most of one day relaxing in the park with a picnic lunch and walking around. This place is amazing and one of those "must-be-seen" before you die!!
Be sure to take a good camera:)
Amazing park!
Reviewed by A TripAdvisor Member on Sep 1, 2005Vigeland 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!!
Frogner Parken - Wondeful!
Reviewed by A TripAdvisor Member on May 17, 2003I spent 9 days in Norway on a beautiful farm in Aurskog Holand, in the southeast part of Norway close to Sweden. It was the start of April, this year (2003). Spring was just beginning there and the sky a color of blue and clearness I rarely see here. Birds were just beginning their flights. Ice was melting on the lake at the farm. I fell in love!My friend took me to all the Oslo sites and I have to say the park was most awesome to me.In the center are stone statues showing the cycles of life in great detail of the human body and human condition arranged around and ascending stairs to a monument of bodies intertwined.Beyond this part is a bridge lined with metal statues. . . bronze I believe. To me they showed all of life being enjoyed without constraint. A freedom in expression. My favorite is of a woman in dance; holding her long hair out to the breeze, a leg lifted as in ballet.Please visit this fantastic place, I promise you will have no regrets! I hope to go back someday.Thank you, Patti
bizzarro: da vedere!

credo di non aver colto il significato di queste sculture, ma mi sono piaciute (quasi) tutte.
Praticamente il parco e un museo all'aperto. Anche se l'ho visitato a novembre, mi e piaciuto molto sia il parco in se, sia le sculture con un velo di ghiaccio sopra.
