"Famous Park with over 200 Statues The Vigeland Park reminds me of Central Park in New York City . The grounds are huge and very well kept. This is the place that you might have heard of - there are over 200 statues of people in action created by artist Gustav Vigeland. In the center of the park there is a large totem sculpture combining many different sculptures into one. It is free to visit and must not be missed when visiting Oslo ! By Marcia Prentice"

"Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo The once seedy Tjuvholmen, or “Thief Island,” is the city’s newest arts district. Its showpiece is the Astrup Fearnley Museum, which reopened last September in an elegant, sail-shaped complex designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano. The open floor plan offers a relaxing environment in which to take in contemporary artwork in galleries featuring both permanent and visiting exhibits. The museum lends contemporary works to the neighboring hotel, the Thief, where guests can view video art on in-room TVs while warming their toes in Norwegian wool slippers. This appeared in the August/September 2013 issue. Image courtesy of Astrup Fearnley Museeet/Nic Lehoux"

"If there were ever a three-dimensional ode to Nordic design, the impressive Oslo Opera House would be it. On the waterfront in the Bjørvika neighborhood with the Oslo fjord as a backdrop, the otherworldly building is home to the Norwegian National Opera and Ballet, and the National Opera Theater. Its angular profile suggests an iceberg and an inclined flat roof extends the theater’s public space down to earth, so that visitors can access the roof, the slope and the plaza in front."

"Something Funny Going On? Latter is Oslo’s main comedy stage, and is centrally located on Aker Brygge. There are several stages, as well as a restaurant and bar. Several famous stand-up comedians have made names for themselves here, and comedians of all genres and fame have preformed here over the years. Game for a laugh? Go to Latter. There’s bound to be something funny on show!"

"A Night at Ibsen's Main Stage Oslo’s main theatre opened its doors in 1899, featuring plays by Bjørnson, Holberg, and Ibsen, and as a consequence put Norwegian plays on the map, so to speak. The theatre still preforms all the old classics as well as exciting new plays. Nationaltheatret came to be Ibsens theatre, and attracted, and indeed still attracts, most of Norway’s actors of repute. Located by the high street Karl Johan en route to the Royal Palace, it’s strategically placed close to lots of other interesting highlights as well!"

"Experience Fine Arts in the Woods! This sculpture and national heritage park was launched to critical acclaim and continues to attract visitors from far and wide. The sculptures are made by artists of a high international standard, such as Renoir, Rodin, Botero, and Dalí, and are placed strategically throughout the park without being intrusive to the natural environment. The woodland itself also offers fantastic views of Oslo , and a gourmet restaurant is here if you fancy a splurge."
