Statue of Charles XIV John of Sweden

This equestrian statue of Charles XIV John of Sweden stands in Slottsplassen, the square facing the Royal Palace within Slottsparken. Sculpted by Brynjulf Bergslien, it ranks among the most significant sculptural works in the park. The statue is a striking focal point of the area and well worth visiting to appreciate both the craftsmanship and its historical importance to Oslo.

Niels Henrik Abel Statue

Niels Henrik Abel Statue

The Niels Henrik Abel statue stands in Oslo's Palace Park, honouring the celebrated Norwegian mathematician. Sculpted by Gustav Vigeland, it was installed in 1908 and ranks among the most notable tributes to this mathematical genius within the park. The bronze figure remains a significant landmark for visitors to what to see during a visit to this historic green space.

3
Camilla Collett Statue

Camilla Collett Statue

Gustav Vigeland's statue of Camilla Collett stands in Slottsparken, Oslo, capturing the writer and women's rights pioneer in an unconventional pose. Titled 'En la tormenta' (In the Storm), it depicts her as an elderly woman, head bowed against the wind. Unveiled in 1911, the sculpture was remarkably bold for its time in Norway—a striking departure from traditional monumental portraiture. What to see here is a powerful representation of a trailblazer, rendered with unusual emotional intensity and forward-thinking artistic vision. The statue remains one of the capital's most expressive public monuments.
