This park in Oslo has a couple of names attached to it, Frognerparken and Vigelandsparken. The latter is the sculpture part of the former. Basically, one does not go without the other. In addition to Vigeland’s naked people – yes, all the sculptures are of young and old in their birthday suit – Frognerparken also includes the Museum of Oslo (Bymuseet) and a couple of cafes. It is actually a lot bigger than what you perceive at first sight. Beyond the art, there are lots of green areas, which during the summer are used for everything from yoga and boot camp work-outs to barbecuing and sunbathing. Feels like it’s always packed on a warm day, as it was the other day, when I visited. So much that I added an old, winter photo of the most popular person at the park, the Angry Boy, instead of “waiting in line”. A boy that has been kidnapped a couple of times 🙂
Frognerparken is away from the city centre. But just a one-stop metro ride away.

I love seeing lots of green spaces in cities and the idea of a sculpture park really appeals – naked people or not! Thanks for sharing on #Farawayfiles
Haha 😀 Always refreshing to see green lungs in-between the the concrete!
With a title like that, I just had to click and read! 😉
We just watched The Incredibles 2 last night with the kids, and Angry Boy does remind me of their baby!

Haha x 2 😀
Sounds like a lovely park with a collection of interesting statues. What is the meaning behind all those naked people? #farawayfiles
It’s probably one of the most famous attractions in Oslo. Great park on a sunny day! Why naked people? I don’t know, and never actually wondered about it 🙂 Googled it, and I got no wiser…
My favorite park in Oslo 🙂
It’s nice! Did you get to visit Ekebergparken? A favourite as well!
Sorry for the late reply. No, we didn’t visit Ekebergparken, but I love it that Oslo has so many parks with art!
Ekebergparken is kind of like a walk in the woods as well. Really nice, and surprises around every corner.
