Frognerparken & Vigelandsparken

Took a very quick walk around Vigeland-musset then crossed to Frogner Park to the area known as 'Vigelandsparken' where 212 statues sat. These statues are sculpted in bronze, granite and cast iron. They were created by Gustav Vigeland between the 1920s to 1943. He also designed the medal for the Nobel Peace Prize.

It was a bright hot day. Felt awesome to be out in the sun. Happily wandered through the park. Spent time staring up at the statues. I think its most famous statue is of 'Sinnataggen' at 83cm tall. Also known as Grumpy or 'The Little Angry Boy'. Apparently it keeps getting stolen and vandalized. The other statues weren't less interesting. Male and female, adults and children. Lovely poses.

There were plenty of tourists in the park. I strolled by a small group. Two men had this perturbed look on their faces as they looked at the statues. They had obviously just got off the tourist coaches and entered the park. One exclaimed, “怎么都是这样的啊！” I had to quickly walk away to cackle. Couldn't stifle my laughter. No wonder the friends called it 'Park of the Naked Statues'.
