Ekebergparken sculpture park


Ekebergparken Sculpture Park is a sculpture park and a national heritage park close to Ekebergrestauranten with a panoramic view of the city at Ekeberg in the southeast of the city of Oslo, Norway.

Contents

The Sculpture Park has been initiated and financed by property director and art collector Christian Ringnes (born 1954). The park is located in a wooded area of 25.5 acres, and was inaugurated 26 September 2013.

A total of 31 sculptures were installed when the opening ceremony took place in 2013, many of them with women as subjects. The park is owned by the City of Oslo and sculptures owned by the Christian Ringnes instituted foundation, C Ludens Ringnes Foundation. In February 2015 it is planned to be fully established including accrued trails, water surface and at least 25 sculptures deployed. The capital of NOK 350 million has been set aside to cover purchased by the additional sculptures, up to a total of eighty, and the operation of the park for at least 50 years.
