The Vigeland Museum in Oslo: photos, reviews

About

In Oslo, The Vigeland Museum stands as an exquisite homage to the artistic legacy of sculptor Gustav Vigeland. With its neoclassical architecture designed by Lorentz Harboe Ree, the museum opened its doors in 1947, offering a serene yet profound exploration of human emotions and stories through art. Located within the scenic grounds of Vigeland Park, this attraction invites visitors to spend 2-3 hours amidst breathtaking sculptures and original works that are unique to Oslo.

The museum's commitment to providing a thoughtful and child-friendly environment is evident, featuring clean facilities and complimentary lockers for convenience. While the space offers a quiet and intimate setting, which often feels quite empty, it enhances the personal connection one can feel towards the artworks. Each December, on the first Sunday of advent, entry is free, making it an ideal time to explore not only the exhibits indoors but also the park outside. For those with an Oslo Pass, the museum is an essential stop, enchanting visitors with its informative displays and insights into Vigeland's creative process. A visit to The Vigeland Museum is a journey into the heart of humanity, best experienced alongside the natural beauty and sculptures of Vigeland Park.
