Oslo's Vigeland Sculpture Park a dramatic outdoor museum

The Vigelandsanlegget in Oslo's renowned, 45-hectare (111-acre) Frogner Park is home to more than 200 dramatic works of sculptor Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) in bronze, granite, and wrought iron. More than half are placed in five thematic groups along an 853-meter (nearly 2,800-foot) axis, such as the fountain ensemble, which includes the 17m-high (56-ft.) Monolith (above), made up of 121 interconnected human statues and interpreted as a vision of resurrection, embodying humans' longing and striving for spirituality. 

It's part of Tripatini member Dayna Stephens's post 5 of Oslo's Top Attractions.
