The Ultimate Study of the Human Form at Vigeland's Sculpture Park with a Local
Description
Come with me on this highly unusual tour to discover one man’s artistic obsession and a lifetime of work dedicated to the sublime study of the human body in all its glorious simplicity. This Experience is a treat for both serious art lovers and those who are curious to discover something new and unique! The bronze and granite sculptures at the park portray humans in a variety of situations from everyday to more symbolic (such as the famous “Man Attacked by Babies”) to highly abstract such as the centerpiece of the complex. As we walk through the park, I will introduce you to the most important pieces and tell you the background story of each. Yet, since focusing only on those highlights does not quite reveal the true nature of the collection, I will also guide you and draw your attention to the seemingly more casual pieces that genuinely capture the essence of the collection.

Gustav Vigeland was a great artist. His legacy is still as meaningful today as it was when these sculptures were built. We were there in winter and could not see the beautiful lifetime fountain in action. We will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Park to visit absolutely.It was our first visit to the city.Accompanied by an Italian guide, art expert, we admired both the granite and bronze sculptures, all inserted in a remarkable naturalistic complex
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive review. We are happy to read you had a great time! We hope that in the future you can discover another city with LocalBini as your travel partner!
A magnificent park of sculptures impressive in number and size. Human nature is represented in all its forms with breathtaking precision!!! My favorite in Oslo and icing on the cake admission is free!!!
We unexpectedly had an extra day in Oslo. We decided to visit this beautiful park. Not only with walking paths, but the amazing talent of the artist that depicts the beauty of human form through these sculptures. If you have time, it is worth it.
Very much recommend this tour - been to oslo many times and whilst have been to park before never really appreciated a lot of the history and Ihor had so much knowledge and patience to explain, very much enjoyed and was a highlight of our trip.

Hour provided a comprehensive and engaging tour. Our experience of the Vigeland sculptures and the site as a whole was much more rich because of his knowledge and manner. Highly recommend!

Very interesting park, the Guide explained the meaning and genesis of the Park and its statues. From the top of the Park under the column you can have a panoramic view of the city.
Our "tour guide" was not. We could not hear him at all, even after asking him to speak up several times. He had no knowledge or information of what we saw. At the sculpture park, he literally said nothing. I was in no way "a study of the human form". I have asked for a refund and was refused. Would not use this company, ever.

Beautiful environment to walk and enjoy nature and art. Life-size statues in shapes you can't even imagine. The monolith impresses, especially from below.
Lovely park - not sure about sculptures. I’m not very arty but there was lots of nakedness and I didn’t get it. Nevertheless was interesting and a nice break from city sightseeing. Nice park / river to wander through
Hi Joanna, Thank you for sharing your feedback about the park. Art comes under many forms and has a different meaning for everyone. Nevertheless - we are happy to hear you enjoyed your walk around the park.
