After the sculpture park visit the Vigeland Museum in the Neoclassical building on the southern boundary.
This beautiful structure was built in the 1920s as the atelier and home of Gustav Vigeland after he had agreed to donate his works to the city. After his death the building became a museum in 1947, preserving his private apartment on the third floor where he lived from 1924 to 1943 and which is fitted for the most part with items he designed.
And being the place where Vigeland worked, the museum gives you a clear sense of the artist’s process, revealing the plaster models for the sculptures in the park, preparatory sketches, casts as well as many of Vigeland’s earlier pieces.
