Vigeland Museum

About

The Vigeland Museum, located at Nobels gate 32 in Oslo’s Frogner borough, is the former studio and residence of Norway’s most celebrated sculptor, Gustav Vigeland. Housed in a neoclassical building designed by Lorentz Ree, the museum offers visitors a unique opportunity to step into the artist’s world, exploring his extensive collection of plaster casts, sketches, and early works that document the development of his monumental style. The permanent exhibition presents a carefully curated selection of Vigeland’s most iconic sculptures – including the famous “Logrus” busts and the sculptural houses – while temporary exhibitions showcase works by contemporary artists and Norwegian sculptors such as Ambrosia Tønnesen. Visitors can also explore the artist’s original apartment on the third floor, the “Artist House”, and the “Artist Home”, providing an intimate insight into his creative process. Guided tours are available on most days and can be booked in advance, ensuring a richer experience of the artist’s legacy. In addition to the museum, the surrounding Vigelandsparken – an expansive sculpture park – offers even more of Vigeland’s masterpieces under the open sky.
