About Vigelandpark in Frognerpark
[edit]In 1914 Vigeland thought about his own park. A park full of sculptures that surrounds a fountain. He worked in such a way that the sculptures could stand out in the open. The park is currently a facility with more than 200 sculptures made from bronze and stone build by Vigeland.
