Lonely Planet review for Emanuel Vigeland Museum
Part gallery, part mausoleum, the spooky Emanuel Vigeland Museum is dedicated to the life work of Gustav Vigeland’s brother Emanuel (1875–1948). A pioneer in fresco painting, Emanuel is considered by many to have been the superior artist of the two brothers. The showpiece of the museum is the 800-sq-metre fresco Vita depicting human life from conception to death. To get there, take the T-bane (line 1) to Slemdal. For a taste of the artist’s work nearer the city centre, check out the stained glass in the Oslo Cathedral.
