Absolutely stunning. Wonderful stained glass. Loved it.
Beautiful public space as a park and a a sculpture garden. We had a beautiful spring day but given a more typical Norwegian day with lots of rain, this wouldn't be nearly as much fun, so watch the weather forcast when you plan your visits. And the park has a gazillion stairsteps to take visitors to different levels for different installations. In most areas there weren't obvious ramps for wheelchair or walker access.
The sculptures were really fantastic. I came away with several "favorites", but the two women from his home village were really special. We had a wonderful guide who knew all the backstories and really added to the visit. It would have been better had we found a book with images of the works to read ahead and plan ahead. But this was a wonderful place.
UPDATE: All of the statues of people are nudes showing "everything" . The sculptor opted not to show them clothed because clothing would date them. Nude, they are timeless. But Google killed the original post for explicit sexual content. My first rejected post in 880 reviews.
