These photos were taken by me (Gábor) in Oslo, when I attended a training course at the company Tandberg.

On Sunday, and late afternoon and evening during the weekdays we had chance for sightseeing, walking in the town, visiting museums and attending other amusements.
Oslo, the capital of Norway has more than half million inhabitants. The downtown is small, with shops, museums, entertainment facilities. The town is located around the blue water of Oslo Fiord, and with its large parks and forests it is a charming place, attracting more than one million tourists annually.

Frogner Park, Gustav Vigeland Sculpture Park in Oslo. 
Gustav Vigeland (1869-1943) is indisputably the most famous Norwegian sculptor. 
The park contains 192 sculptures with more than 600 figures, all modeled in full size by Gustav Vigeland without the assistance of pupils or other artists.		 The Monolith. The column, 14.12 meters (46 feet) high carved out of a single block of stone, consists of 121 figures.

 

The Fram Museum. 
The main attraction is FRAM, the famous polar ship, which is mentioned as the strongest vessel of the world.

 FRAM was used in several Arctic and Antarctic expeditions (North and South Pole).
