There is a park in Oslo, The Vigeland Sculpture Park, that is filled with statues of people....all sorts, young and old, men and women, happy and sad, strong and week, big and small....hundreds, maybe thousands, of figures that can absorb you for hours.
I have visited this garden several times and have to say that it is as delightful on a clear warm June day as on a dark gray November day.
It is in walking distance from the center of Oslo (a great place to stay is the Frogner House, delightful service, delicious warm breakfast) and a must see for anyone visiting this beautiful city where the summer sun shines about 80% of the calendar day.
The statues are the work of Gustav Vigeland. The number, scale and variety boggles my mind when I think of how much work must have gone into such an exhibition.
Maybe most people won't have a chance to go there in person but with modern tools (google, youtube, etc) you can make a virtual tour of one of the sculptural wonders of the world.
Just one picture to whet your appetite........
