Incredible museum, all the sculpture work is incredible. The building is amazing too, make sure to visit the park nearby too.

Come to this museum before heading to the park! You'll get to see scale models, plaster replicas, and learn about Gustav Vigeland's process on his sculptures. It is much more fascinating to see about his works and what went into them before seeing the larger than life sculptures in the park.
The Museum has all original works of Vigeland made from plaster, bronze, granite, marble, and including sketches. Scale models of what the park, and sculptures placements should have been. Worth the entry,

Every year in December on the first Sunday of advent, the Vigeland Museum invites everyone for a free day at the museum. Complete with Christmas workshops for kids and guided tours in the apartment of Norway's top sculptor - Gustav Vigeland.
The museum is Vigeland's former studio and residence, provided by the city in 1921 in exchange for all of his artwork. His ashes, self-designed bronze urn and burial monument are located in the tower of the museum.

Fascinating museum containing the largest collection from Norway’s finest sculptor. Really worth a visit especially if you are intending on visiting the sculpture park as many of the designs used there can be seen throughout the development stage. Very interesting to see the development and maturing of vigeland’s work whilst his motifs and themes remained the same throughout !

But there are more works there, which are not related to park, some pieces of information. Though this all is pretty expensive if you visi
