Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park, Sculpture garden in Tjuvholmen, Norway
Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park displays seven artworks positioned along the Oslo fjord shoreline, with pieces by established artists including Louise Bourgeois and Anish Kapoor. Paved pathways connect the installations, with benches placed throughout for viewing and rest.
The park was created in 2012 by Italian architect Renzo Piano as part of a larger urban development project. This transformation turned Tjuvholmen into a cultural district with museums and public art spaces.
The artworks here represent different artistic voices from around the world, creating an open dialogue about contemporary creation. Walking through, you encounter how these distinct perspectives coexist in the same public space.
The park sits next to Astrup Fearnley Museum and is easy to navigate on smooth, paved surfaces. Visitors with mobility needs will find accessible pathways and clear sightlines throughout the grounds.
Few visitors notice that Akershus Castle is visible across the water from the sculpture grounds. During warmer months, locals use the nearby beach for swimming, giving the area a dual function beyond viewing art.
