The Norwegian folk museum is a lovely boat trip across the fjord of Oslo from the city. It is situated within extensive grounds and is an evocation of the living conditions in Norway since the 16th century. Also on the site is a 13th century church which looks more like a Chinese pagoda than any christian building I'd seen.

The Vigelandsparken is an enormous 75 acre area of parkland which is filled with sculptures by Gustav Vigeland who was the premier sculptor of Norway. There are hundreds of sculptures in this garden, all of humans and all in different states and of different ages. Its a unique, fascinating and very well maintained place.
