EKEBERG SCULPTURE PARK

Ekebergparken is a public sculpture and cultural heritage park, measuring app. 63 acres of the hill surrounding Oslo to the east. The park is the result of a cooperation between Oslo Municipality and C. Ludens Ringnes Foundation. The initiative to establish the park came from real estate investor and philanthropist, Christian Ringnes. The park is financed by C. Ludens RIngnes Foundation, and has been open to the public since September 2013.  Back then, the collection numbered 31 unique works of art. By 2024, with the addition of Pipilotti Rist’s Nordic Pixel Forest, the park will feature 46 artworks.

Ekeberparken is a public park with a long history and protected nature, as well as being home to a number of animals. In the late 1800s, the area was established as a public park “for the people of Oslo’s spiritual and moral well-being”. Ekebergparken of today is a popular destination for lovers of art and nature alike. It has become an internationally renowned art institution and was part of the top 5 sculpture parks worldwide recommended by The Wall Street Journal in 2015. It has also won Norsk Lyspris (Norwegian Light Award), for its two underground light installations by James Turrell, in 2014.

In addition to an amazing and comprehensive art collection, with works by both Norwegian and international artists, the park offers hiking opportunities in a unique landscape with extraordinary views of Oslo and the Oslofjord.

C. Ludens Ringnes Foundation is responsible for the area and the museum in Lund’s Hus, as well as a wide variety of mediation offers to people of all ages, as well as schools. Among the offers are private tours, visits to James Turrell’s installations, workshops for children in Hakkespettene, and events throughout the year.
