About this audio guide
This guide to Ekebergparken in Oslo starts in August 2011, with a billionaire art collector announcing a sculpture park on a wooded public hillside and a loud crowd outside City Hall. It follows the feminists, environmentalists, professors and a forest protest group who fought him, and the question of whether private money was steering the city. Best heard on the paths among the trees, where the whole argument was rooted.
