Oslo-D2; 4 of 4 SCULPTURE GARDEN/MUSEUM

In the evening at about 9pm we took the tram to the Sculpture Garden (yes, it was still warm with strong sunlight as the sun has not set … yet). Here, is the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist. Some of the most famous sculptures include Sinnataggen (Angry Boy), The Monolith, and The Wheel of Life. Vigelandsparken is the incredible sculpture park open 24/7 with its over 270 unique sculptures of Gustav Vigeland in bronze, granite and forged iron.

Why did he add a bronze bust of Abe Lincoln? It was a gift from the U.S. state of North Dakota to Norway, presented in 1914 to commemorate the centennial of the Norwegian Constitution of 1814 and to honor the large Norwegian immigrant population in North Dakota.
