The Edward Munch Museum displays an extensive collection of the artists’ works including art, sculpture, photographs, prints, etc. The Frogner Park and the Vigeland Sculpture Park are open-air museums located within a large park, displaying many sculptures, carved gates and other creations. The Viking Ship Museum houses three original vessels from the Viking period. The Akershus Castle and Fortress is one of the city’s oldest structures; it still serves as military headquarters but is open to visitors.
