Sculpture Parks of Oslo - Public Art in Norway's Capital City
From the tiger statue outside the Central Station to Christian IV's glove on Rådhusgata, the city of Oslo is full of curious sculptures.
While discovering these artworks is one of the great joys of wandering the streets of Norway’s capital city, it is Oslo’s sculpture parks that are the real highlights.
You may have heard of Vigeland Park, but did you know that Oslo has at least three other sculpture parks? In this video I take you on a tour of all of them.

    Thanks for making this. I've spent the last few days in the city. Really enjoyed the tram ride and walk around the lakes and woods. As a swimmer the Pirbadet complex is fantastic and you are lucky to have this. Rockheim pop museum could perhaps have been mentioned, I spent a fun few hours in there while it was raining outside.

    In 2017 we sailed with our 34 feet sailboat from the Netherlands to Honningsvåg. Left our boat there for a few days and take the Hurtigruten to Kirkenes. We managet to get a visum to Russia and visited several places in Rusland. Then go back by Hurtigruten to our sailboat in Honningsvåg and after a long sailing around the Nordkapp and going south we are back home.

It's a safe community with amenities; thus, people can retire or work / live. This is key for a place that's dark, windy and cold. Incentives for x pats.

    Me again! On the FreddyO website, Ocean view cabins are approx 213ft², interior cabins approx 184ft². Thats about 3x10ft difference. I've stayed in the interior cabin and looking at the video here, I cannot see where that extra 30 feet² is coming from! I've also checked the 360⁰ Panoramic viewers on the FreddyO website. The cabins look identical. I'm guessing you've been in both more or less back to back for the review, so could you spot any difference in size? Thanks!

      I think their policy for cruise ships is changing very soon by limiting the number of ships and possibly allowing zero emission vessels only. We went to Flåm by train in the wintertime and took the smaller ferry to the fjord, then a snowshoe tour the following day. It was quiet, quaint, no crowds & very beautiful (& cold).. 😊
