In the several rooms of this interesting museum are presented sculptures and models that were created by well-known Norwegian artist Gustav Vigeland. There are concepts of sculptures that are now part of the bridge, fountain and obelisk in the park in Frogner in Oslo. Furthermore, in the museum are also several models that were never realised on the full scale (some of them showing Vigeland's visions of heroes of sagas and Eddic poems).

This museum really gave a lot more depth to the Vigeland Sculpture Park. The receptionist could not have been friendlier to answer all of our questions. And it was fun to see artists at the museum doing their work. Would highly recommend after you visit the park itself.

Wandered in here after seeing the sculptures in the park and it really added to the context of the experience. Compact and doesn’t take a lot of time but informative and well presented, was really interesting to see after seeing the statues to learn more about the artist and the builds.

The open air museum - whether sunny or cloudy - is a magnificent experience. One appreciates the dedication of this sculptor and his flair for fun. Our public bus ride was also an adventure, and a walk afterward in the charming neighborhood that bordered the parkland was lovely. This should be a must-see when in Oslo!

Beautiful museum located on the outskirt of the actual park. Lots of information of the various forms of artwork Vigeland undertook during his time and the intricacies that were involved to bring his ideas to life.
If you do have time to visit the museum it is a great way to get more understanding of the length of time to design and put together the magnificent sculptures found in the park.

The designer of the world’s most famous prize medal (the Nobel Peace award) and Norway’s most visited tourist attraction (the Vigeland installation inside Frogner Park) certainly doesn’t need a lengthy introduction. He does, however, have a museum dedicated to his work in Oslo. The collection consists of over 1,600 sculptures, 12,000 drawings, and 400 woodcuts that were nobly (pun intended) donated to the city of Oslo in 1919. In return, a studio was built for him and served as his primary workshop for almost twenty years until his death in 1943, then turned into the current museum.
Appropriately adjacent to the southern edge of his eponymously named sculpture garden, the Vigeland Museum is a one story collection and description of Gustav Vigeland’s oeuvre as one of the world’s most accomplished artists. The building consists of thirteen rooms on the ground floor of the complex, visited in a clockwise fashion. It encompasses all of his major works, starting with the “Hell” sculpture from 1897. Other, individual works are presented as well, with an emphasis on those that realistically depict the elderly. Room six has an excellent description in English about the functioning of his workshop and the multiple steps it took to create each piece. The design of the Vigeland installation is covered next, with woodcarvings rounding out the experience.
In summary, this was a well done museum that gave me a concise, approachable history of Gustav Vigeland’s life as an artist. Highlights included the description of his artistic technique as described above, and the “Fragments” in room seven that show unfinished projects and his creative process. English signage was adequate; my only small criticism was the lack of an audio guide or mobile app (similar to the National Museum) that could truly enhance the experience. Overall, though, this was a worthy visit and great academic complement to the park. Recommended.

See both if you have time or save these plaster models for a rainy day or a very cold day. Nearly as interesting as the bronze ones in the adjoining public park. There are some differences and the plaster statues cover a broader time span and more styles of his work.

The fantastic workshop-Museum of the great sculpturer Gustav Vigeland. 'The blueprints' of Gustav Vigeland - the master of all the sculptures in the Vigelandsanlegget - aka Frognerparken. Right on the other side of the road.

Whatever you do, do not take a taxi! Toooooo expensive!!!!
Take the train to Skøyen Station, then you can get on bus 20 to Vigelandsparken.
You can use this site to plan your route too. ruter.no/en/journey-planner/
Talk to the Ruter employees at the airport to be sure you have all the tickets you need.
What public transportation can I take from Hotel Verdandi on Tordenskioldsgate to Vigeland Park

I see that your question has been answered regarding transportation, however if you are able to, walking is a great advantage as others have mentioned. We walked from the the city centre - you will see so much more and can stop at a cafe for a quick coffee, as well as seeing beautiful parks and residential areas. Enjoy your trip!!

Someone said there is currently construction at the park. We are visiting in the end of May. How is the construction affecting the view of the sculptures?

Some weeks ago half of the main sculpture was under reconstruction, so that part was completely inaccessible. A week ago they were working on another part, but it was possible to walk around. It is not a good view when all the construction materials are clinging around. I hope that they finish soon, but I don't know when.
I'm going to be in Oslo for 7 hours on a layover on my way to Berlin. Sadly, it's a Monday and I know the museum is closed on Monday. can I still go in the park?

Yes, the park is open, accessible and worth the visit. There are several beautiful buildings in it, as well as nice views and sunsets.

Ola Elianne, nao vi nenhum lugar com esse serviço. Embora tenha acesso a cadeiras de rodas pelas laterais, no topo onde fica o obelisco tambem nao vi acesso. Fui com carrinho de bebe e tive que revezar com o marido na parte de baixo.

Hi,
How can I get there from Frogner(Riddervolds Plass)?
Ragnhild T
9 contributions
You can walk, about 15-20 minutes to eather the park or the museum. If you want to take public transport, you can take the 19-tram from Riddervolds plass to Majorstuen, and then eather walk to the park (10 min) or switch to the 12-tram or the 20-bus, and go off at "Vigelandsparken" for the park or at the stop after; "Frogner Plass" for the museum. You must walk 2-3 minutes from the stop to the museum.

Hi! Yes, you can take tram number 12. It leaves from the tram stop called Kontraskjæret, a 2-minute walk from the cruise pier (walk towards city hall), and stops right outside the entrance to the park. Enjoy!
