Livshjulet

The bronze Wheel of Life depicts men, women, and children holding each other in a wreath formation at the west end of Vigeland Park.

Gustav Vigeland created the initial plaster model between 1933 and 1934, with the final bronze sculpture installed in 1949 at its current location.

The sculpture symbolizes eternal cycles of human existence through connected figures representing birth, life stages, relationships, and mortality.

The sculpture stands at the highest point of Vigeland Park, offering visitors clear views of the Monolith and surrounding grounds from its position.

Each figure in the rotating wreath composition maintains physical contact with others, creating an unbroken chain of human connections.
