About this audio guide
This guide to Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park in Oslo starts with a simple headcount of the works around the Astrup Fearnley Museum, and a tally that refuses to agree with itself. Along the way it looks hard at what they are made of: black granite by Louise Bourgeois, a carved block of alabaster by Anish Kapoor, and an iron figure by Antony Gormley. Best heard standing on the little grass knoll beside the museum.
