FrognerFrogner is a borough of the city of Oslo, Norway. In addition to traditional Frogner, the borough incorporates Bygdy, Uranienborg and Majorstuen. The area became part of the city of Oslo (then Christiania) in 1878. The borough is named after Frogner Manor, a splendid 18th century country house now housing the Oslo City Museum. The Frogner Park Frognerparken is the site of the famous Vigeland Sculpture Park. On the Bygdy peninsula are located the Viking ship Museum, Norsk Folkemuseum (Norwegian Museum of Cultural History), the Maritime Museum, the Kon-Tiki Museum and the ship Fram, used by Roald Amundsen for his Antarctic expedition. The royal estate Bygdy kongsgrd and the little palace of Oscarshall are also located here. Bygdy is also a recreational area for Oslo's citizens with several public beaches. On January 1 2004, the previous borough of Uranienborg-Majorstuen was merged with Frogner, creating the current, larger borough. External links
