If you’re planning a trip to Oslo, one experience you simply can’t miss is a guided tour of Frogner Park and the Vigeland sculpture installation. This unforgettable walking tour takes you through one of the most iconic and artistic spaces in the Norwegian capital. Join us to marvel at more than 200 bronze and granite sculptures and dive into the remarkable story of the man behind it all, Gustav Vigeland.
We’ll begin our journey at 6 pm sharp, right at the main entrance of the Vigeland installation, next to the statue of Gustav Vigeland himself. This spot marks the gateway to an expansive 32-hectare park filled with some of Norway’s most impressive public art. With an expert English-speaking guide leading the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of this stunning space, both visually and historically.
As we walk, you’ll explore the vivid expressions and intricate details of Vigeland’s sculptures, each one designed to capture the full spectrum of human emotion and life stages. Among the highlights is the famous Sinnataggen, or The Angry Boy, a small yet striking figure that has become one of Oslo’s most beloved symbols.
Throughout this 1-hour and 30-minute tour, you’ll discover Vigeland’s fascinating legacy, a man who spent over 20 years bringing this dreamlike installation to life. Your guide will share captivating stories behind each section, including the dramatic Fountain, the awe-inspiring 17-metre-high Monolith, and the deeply symbolic Wheel of Life. Each stop along the way offers an incredible photo opportunity and insight into Vigeland’s artistic vision.
And just when you think it can’t get better, the magic of sunset begins to unfold. As the sun dips below the Oslo skyline, its last golden rays reflect off the bronze sculptures, casting a warm glow across the park and leaving you with a breathtaking memory of this artistic wonder.
