After watching the children’s parade on May 17, we decided to visit Frogner park to see the Vigeland sculptures. It turned out to be an excellent choice. Oslo wasn’t charging for subway rides that day, so when the parade was over we followed a mass of people into the subway and caught the train for Frogner Park.

Many my couples and families dressed up in their bunads were wandering around, enjoying the park too.

Vigeland’s sculptures surprised me. I expected the facial expressions to reveal the subjects’ emotions, but Vigeland evokes joy, fear, jealousy, pride, love, and confidence with physical postures  showing the subjects caught in moments of quiet or boisterous action. here are some photos.

Frogner Park is lovely even without the sculptures.
