Well, actually Frogner Park (Norwegian: Frognerparken). The
park is Oslo's largest park, open to the public at all times.
It includes the manor house which is the seat of Oslo City Museum, the nearby Henriette
Wegner Pavilion, the Vigeland installation of sculptures created by
sculptor Gustav Vigeland, Frogner Baths, Frogner stadium, and the
largest collection of roses in the country with 14,000 plants of 150 species.
We didn't get to visit too many of the places, but we walked the grounds
and visited the Oslo City Museum.

The Oslo City Museum was what you might expect, a history of the
city, paints from different time periods, traumatic or otherwise
significant events and the impact on the city. But, like the other
museums, it was put together well and had a lot of context. And
little acedotal stories that were interesting in there own right, like
the original Oslo burning down for at least the 14th time and how four
women were sentenced to death for it because people thought it was God's
punishment for their witchcraft.
