- คู่รัก
- ประวัติศาสตร์
Interestingly, the main attraction at this unique museum in the neighbourhood of Slemdal is a dark, barrel-vaulted room that’s completely covered with frescoes. Emanuel Vigeland Museum is the eponymous gallery of the late namesake artist. He was the brother of Gustav Viegland, the famous sculptor responsible for the sculpture-filled park inside Oslo’s Frogner Park. The large-scale frescoes at the museum depict human life from conception through death, some with dramatic and erotic depictions. The dimly-lit room has unique acoustic qualities, and you can usually catch a live music performance during special events.
