The Vigeland Sculpture Park. The Vigeland Sculpture Park is one of the most popular sights of Oslo that attracts more than a million of visitors a year. In the unique garden you'll see more than 200 of human-sized sculptures (some of them are even larger). They were created by Gustav Vigeland (1869–1943), who used to live in Oslo for a while. The figures describe the world of human feelings: sorrow, joy, love… The greatest impression you'll get from the 17-meter stone Monolith, which was made from 121 bodies. It's the biggest granitic sculpture in the world. But Vigeland is not only the author of the sculptures, he also projected the park itself. The park is an idyllic place with duck ponds and shady alleys.

The Munch Museum. When still alive the Norwegian Edward Munch (1863–1944), along with Picasso had the reputation of the greatest artist of those times. Munch bequeathed lot of his works to Oslo. The collection of the Munch Museum has more than 5000 drawings, graphic works and paintings. Unfortunately his well-known 'The Scream' is not there. After the occasion, when in 2004 it was stolen and was found only two years later, it's kept in the National Museum of Norway.
