<\/span>The Vigeland Museum is open from 10am-5pm.\u00a0 I arrived at 4:30pm to large imposing doors that looked less than inviting.\u00a0 I let myself in and found a grumpy lady at the admissions desk.\u00a0 “Is the museum still open?” “Yes, for 10 minutes.”\u00a0 (Norwegians aren’t great at telling time) “Ok, I’ll just come back tomorrow.” “No, you have time.”<\/p>\n She was not the friendliest, but she gave me a student discount, so I can’t complain.\u00a0 Also, she was right.\u00a0 10 minutes was plenty.\u00a0 the museum had only a few rooms and contained mainly, (as I found out later) sculptures you could see for free in the park surrounding the museum.<\/p>\n <\/span>The museum wasn’t uninteresting, but I definitely feel like there would have been better uses of money, especially in Oslo.\u00a0 The museum cost nok 60- (about $10) and half that for seniors and students.\u00a0 So, it didn’t break the bank, and cost less than a meal at McDonalds but It still housed smaller versions of sculptures that could be seen outside for free.<\/p>\n <\/span>So, check out Vigelandsparken sculture park for some unique and classically Norwegian art (no one does chubby naked people totems quite like Oslo) and maybe skip the museum.\u00a0 Save your money for outrageously priced water later.<\/p>\n![\"Vigeland](\"https:\/\/magsonthemove.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/IMG_2936-510x680.jpg\")
