About Frogner Park

Frogner Park is a public park located inside the borough of Frogner in Oslo, Norway, and is traditionally part of Frogner Manor. The manor residence is located in the south of the park, and homes the Oslo City Museum. Both the park, the whole borough of Frogner similarly to Frognerseteren derive their names from Frogner Manor. Frogner Park consists of, in its gift centre, the famous Vigeland installation, a everlasting sculpture set up created via Gustav Vigeland between 1924 and 1943. Although from time to time incorrectly stated in English as the "Vigeland Park," the Vigeland set up isn't a separate park, but the name of the sculptures inside Frogner Park.

The sculpture park includes sculptures further to large structures which incorporates bridges and fountains. The park of Frogner Manor become historically smaller and targeted on the manor house, and became landscaped as a baroque park inside the 18th century through its owner, the noted military officer Hans Jacob Scheel. It modified into landscaped as a romantic park in the nineteenth century through then-proprietor, German-born industrialist Benjamin Wegner.
