Frogner Park Norwegian: Frognerparken is a public park located in the borough of Frogner in Oslo, Norway, and is historically part of Frogner Manor. The manor house is located in the south of the park, and houses the Oslo City Museum. Both the park, the entire borough of Frogner as well as Frognerseteren derive their names from Frogner Manor. Frogner Park contains, in its present centre, the well-known Vigeland installation Norwegian: Vigelandsanlegget; originally called the Tørtberg installation, a permanent sculpture installation created by Gustav Vigeland between 1924 and 1943.[2] Although sometimes incorrectly referred to in English as the `Vigeland Sculpture Park,` the Vigeland installation is not a separate park, but the name of the sculptures within Frogner Park. The sculpture park consists of sculptures as well as larger structures such as bridges and fountains.
