A huge park full of scupltures by the famous Gustav Vigeland.

Kirkeveien, Frogner, Oslo - take the underground to Majorstua (all the lines pass here), and then walk about five minutes to get to Frognerparken.

Vigeland Park is a huge park in which to stroll and browse the sculptures of Vigeland - both bronze and stone – which are overwhelming in their beauty and size. The children I was with were climbing all over the sculptures at the top of the stairs, near the monolith crawling with naked stone bodies! What a wonderful experience. Ideal in summer, but lovely in winter too.

The park can be found in western Oslo, and has hundreds of statues by Norwegian sculptor Gustav Vigeland, a man obsessed with the body and its relationship with nature. In summer, the kids will enjoy the nearby waterpark, in winter they can skate at the ice-rink.

A cultural gem, with its amazing collection of paintings by the expressionist artist. Munch painted four versions of the Scream, so even though one is gone, there’s still another one kicking around the place.

For anyone who's interested in architecture, art or design, this is a must-see. Dating from 1930-1950s, it looks a little austere from the outside, but the interiors are stunning - with a multitude of different rooms decorated with murals, mosaics, frescos, tapestries and sculpture. Free to visit in winter, in summer there is a small admission charge.
