Frogner Park
The private garden surrounding the manor house was historically much smaller. After Oslo municipality acquired the estate, much of the remaining agricultural land was turned into a public park, the Frogner Park, with Gustav Vigeland's sculpture arrangement (the Vigeland Sculpture Park) erected in the centre from 1928 to 1943. In 1914 the area was the site of the 1914 Jubilee Exhibition.
