Ekebergparken Sculpture Park, Sculpture garden in Oslo, Norway.
Ekebergparken is a large art park in Oslo that combines contemporary sculptures with ancient rock carvings across the landscape. The space features works spread along walking routes and viewing areas, with museum facilities housed in a dedicated building for exhibitions and information.
The site opened as a public art space in the early 2010s after private funding made possible the transformation of an older estate property. The location benefited from a long family connection to art collecting that shaped this place into what visitors see today.
The name reflects ties to local land ownership and family history in the region. Walking through, you notice sculptures often depicting female figures alongside Stone Age rock carvings that have remained in place for thousands of years.
Entry is by foot through a main gateway, and the place is best explored on a day with mild weather since much of it is outdoors. The terrain is uneven in places, so comfortable walking shoes and a willingness to climb are needed for viewing areas on the upper paths.
A few art installations use light and spatial sensation in unusual ways to offer visitors a different sensory experience. These special works are housed in separate structures where you can take time to absorb the effects without distraction.
