Gustav Vigeland sundial represents one of the lesser known but most fascinating works in Frogner Park. The bronze structure, with its human figures indicating the hours, combines practical function and artistic value. Like all Vigeland works, this sundial also explores the theme of the human body and life cycle, here related to the passage of cosmic time. The artist dedicated over 40 years to creating the park, leaving a unique legacy that attracts over one million visitors every year.
