The Vigeland Museum ( Norwegian: Vigelandmuseet) is a museum dedicated to Gustav Vigeland in Frogner, Oslo. It is located outside Frogner Park, which includes the Vigeland installation with sculptures by Gustav Vigeland. The museum is part of Oslo municipality's cultural department.
The sculpture park is Gustav Vigeland's life work, comprising over 200 sculptures in granite, bronze and wrought iron. It was installed mainly in the period 1940-1949, but is nevertheless a result of over 40 years of work.
The Vigeland Museum's collection comprises 1 600 sculptures, 12 000 drawings and 400 woodcuts, in addition to pastels, wrought iron works and wood carving works. The collection is the result of an agreement Gustav Vigeland made with the City of Oslo in 1919.
The Vigeland Museum opened in 1947 and is Gustav Vigeland's former studio and residence. Today, the museum shows a permanent exhibition presenting Vigeland's art, and temporary exhibitions with three-dimensional art.
In Berlin, he frequented the artist circles which included figures such as Edvard Munch, Stanisław Przybyszewski, Julius Meier-Graefe, Richard Dehmel, Count Harry Kessler and Jens Thiis. In Florence, Vigeland was inspired by the art of antiquity and the Renaissance.
The Vigeland Museum is a building listed as a protected national monument, and facilities for visitors with disabilities can unfortunately not always live up to contemporary standards. Practical information
