Super fint museum med mulighed for tilkøb af guidet tur (50 nkr for 1 t). Vi var kun 2 personer, så vi var heldige at få turen på norsk i stedet for på engelsk af en super dygtig guide, som vidste alt om Vigeland og meget andet. Vi besøgte bl.a. Vigelands lejlighed, yderst interessant.
Gateparkering rundt bygget, eller helst buss/trikk. Tbane er 1 km lengre bort på Majorstua. Bygg har 2 etasjer åpent for publikum. En etasje til er kun åpent sammen med en omviser (kunstnerens bolig og sarkofag). Bygg har ikke universell utforming (heis). 1 etg kan en rullestol bruker besøke (de 2 neste etg mangler heis).
The guided tour was a joy and great preparation for visiting the park.
Go to the park to see the real thing unless you need the background to the artist himself and the process
Kreislauf des Lebens im Vigeland-Park, Oslo
Interesting guided tour in English for the life and the work of Gustav Vigeland.
Amazing!!!
Last year when I was visiting, it was only open on sundays so i booked a ticket beforehand because I was arriving Oslo on a sunday. I rushed to here to see before it was closed. It was worth it, and the lady at the entrance was cool. Naturally it's very dim inside so it's possible to accidentally step on someone's foot.
Very unusual park, museum explains many things.
