Vigeland installation, Sculpture garden in Frogner Park, Norway
The Vigeland installation displays more than 200 sculptures throughout the park, depicting human figures in various poses and expressions made of bronze and granite.
Gustav Vigeland began working on the installation in 1907, and the city council approved the fountain project in Frogner Park during 1924.
The sculptures in the park represent different stages of human life, from birth to death, through intricate figures arranged along the central axis.
The sculpture garden remains open every day throughout the year without entrance fees, allowing visitors to explore the artistic collection at any time.
The Monolith, standing 17 meters tall, consists of 121 human figures carved from a single granite block, forming a central tower in the park.
