Vigeland Sculpture Park is a part of Frogner Park, located in Oslo, Norway. The park covers 80 acres and features 212 bronze and granite sculptures created by Gustav Vigeland. Vigeland personally sculpted every figure out of clay and individual craftsmen were contracted to fabricate the pieces into what they are today. These works of art reside along an 850 meter-long axis divided into six sections: The Main Gate, The Bridge, The Children's Playground, The Fountain, The Monolith Plateau and the Wheel of Life. It is, overall, a very moving experience. I visited the park with my Norwegian friends and hosts Inger-Lise and Steinar the night of July 3, 2010.
