Frogner Park, Oslo Norway

A few months ago I visited Frogner Park in Oslo Norway. I was so impressed with it. I mentioned it in a previous post. I loved this park because it is so unique. It is beautiful with thousands of flowers and trees. There are 121 figures in the park. I didn’t capture all of them but I got most of my favorites. I don’t know why these sculptures touched me so much but they did. I loved this park!!!! To see additional photos and get more information just google Frogner Park. You will see so many more of the figures.

Frogner Park is a public Park in the central West End borough of Frogner in Oslo, Norway. The park is historically part of Frogner Manor and is Oslo’s largest park, open to the public at all times. Wikipedia

What is so unique about these figures? There are 121 human figures clinging and floating together. There’s men, women and children of different ages and different stages of life. At the very top of the park is a huge Monolith made up of human figures and crowned with children. To me it is magical.

The park is just a beautiful place. Flowers everywhere!!! The layout of the park was also designed by the sculptor. So when you see all the figures you may wonder who is behind these amazing figures and this beautifully designed park It is Gustav Vigeland and you will often hear the park called Vigeland Park.

Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) Gustav persuaded the city of Oslo to build him a combined home and studio. In return, Vigeland would donate all his works to the city sometime in the future.

It took approximately 20 years to complete everything.

Gustav Vigeland Norway’s greatest sculptor and one of its finest twentieth century artists.

I hope you enjoyed all the sculptures as much as I did. I think they are so unique and beautiful. If you ever get to Norway please visit this park it is simply amazing!!!!!

Always remember

Love your day your way!!!
