A tour in the Vigeland Park in Oslo

Right outside the park there is a statue of Sonja Henie. She was a famous Norwegian figure skater and actress. During the 1920s and 1930s she won many, many Olympic and Gold Medals She also has a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame! See Wikipedia for lots more information about her.

We are just entering the Vigeland Park. It is the world's largest sculpture park with sculptures made by one single artist. There are more than 200 sculptures in the park, made by Gustav Vigeland.

This little statue is called 'Sinnataggen' (Little Angry Boy) and is the most photographed and famous Norwegian statue. There are lots of cool pictures of it if you google 'sinnataggen'.

'Monolitten' (The Monolith) was finished in 1943. It is 17 meters (more than 55 feet) tall and has 121 figures in it. Most of the statues in the park is made of granite. Monolitten is cut from one large piece of granite. Some believe the column is to be understood as man's resurrection, longing and yearning for the spiritual and divine.

Around the plateau where the Monolith is situated, there are 35 figures which shows the cycle of life. This is the 'youngest' sculpture.

Here is 'dad', the girls agreed.
