With
more than a million of tourists every year, the Vigeland Park is one
of Norway’s most visited places. Located within the 32-hectare
Frogner Park, we were able to admire some of the 214 pieces of the
famous Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. The bronze and granite
statues are impressive with regard to their humanity and realism.
What a stunning walk!
Special
mention goes out surely to the enormous 14-metre high monolith where
121 bodies entangle and intertwine.
If
you want, you can also visit the Vigeland Museum (Vigelandsmuseet):
The
Norwegian National Opera (Den Norske Opera)
Address:
Kirsten Flagstads Plass 1
Guided
tours are organized (in English), but we prefered to enter freely to
discover the architectural wonder that is this very modern building.
Completely covered with white marble, it is possible to go up its
slopes. Inside the hall, wood contrasts with the huge glass wall
overlooking the bay.
Don’t
forget to admire the surprising metal and glass sculpture on the
water.
