A private guide's expertise will enhance your experience, offering detailed explanations of the park's most famous pieces, such as the Monolith, the Wheel of Life, and the iconic Angry Boy (Sinnataggen).

The Vigeland Museum

Located in the beautiful Vigeland Park, is a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs.
