Sights in Mandal

  1. Vigeland Hus

    The family home of Norway’s finest sculptor has been converted into a small museum and exhibition space, Vigeland Hus. The house has been decorated in a style approximating that of the sculptor’s early days and his workshop has been transformed into a gallery.

  2. Bymuseum

    The moderately interesting town Bymuseum, which displays a host of historical maritime and fishing artefacts and works by local artists, is elevated above the mundane by impressive exhibits of works by Mandal’s favourite son, Gustav Vigeland.

  3. Sjøsanden Beach

    Norway's southernmost town, Mandal is famous for its 800m-long beach, Sjøsanden. About 1km from the centre and backed by forests, the Copacabana it ain't, but it is Norway's finest stretch of sand, just crying out for a sunny Mediterranean climate.
