There are plenty of attractions in Oslo. But probably one of the most visited is Frogner Park. Not only tourists like to come there, but also locals since this place is really attractive.

What is the reason for such a huge popularity of the park? Its strangeness. Frogner Park is a huge open-air exhibition center created based on the idea of the famous Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland. More than 200 of his works are collected there.

All the sculptures in the park are made of bronze or granite, so they fit very nicely into the surrounding landscape. Sometimes it feels like they have always been there. In the park, you can see couples in love, beggars, and naughty children. All possible manifestations of human feelings, emotions, character traits are collected in Frogner Park.

All works of art are surrounded by a wonderful landscape: manicured trees and lawns, paths, benches, and places for a leisurely rest. So, in the fresh air, you can not only enjoy art but also think about the vanity of the world.

It is interesting that Vigeland started working on the idea of the park in the early 20th century. He created some of the exhibits before he made the park. The first part of the park which was opened to the public in 1940 was the bridge. One of the most popular sculptures, the Angry Boy, is located there.

For the convenience of visitors, the park was divided into zones. It starts with a beautiful wrought-iron gate, then visitors see a bridge, a playground, a fountain, the Monolith plateau and the Wheel of life. Each zone is a theater of human feelings and emotions.

Many visitors and residents of Oslo like to come there in the evening when all the museums are already closed, but the desire to see the art is still strong. However, when the dark comes the park gets elegantly and incredibly illuminated. It seems that this is not just a park but a whole magical world.

Note that the park is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, unlike many other urban spaces. So, this is a real gift for lovers of beautiful evening walks.
