About this audio guide
This guide to the Vigeland Museum in Oslo is about a bargain struck in nineteen twenty-one between the sculptor Gustav Vigeland and his city, and what each side put on the table. It takes you upstairs into the apartment he shared with his wife Ingerid, and downstairs among the plaster casters, stonemasons and smiths who worked beside him. Best heard in the entrance hall, where you can glance up toward the tower.
