Frogner is a residential and retail borough in the West End of Oslo, Norway, with a population of 59,269 as of 2020.[1] In addition to the original Frogner, the borough incorporates Bygdøy, Uranienborg and Majorstuen. The borough is named after Frogner Manor, and includes Frogner Park. The borough has the highest real estate prices in Norway. The borough is named after the old Frogner Manor. The Norse form of the name was Fraunar (plural form), and is likely derived from the word frauð 'manure' — meaning 'fertilized fields'. (See also Frogn and Tøyen.) Note that, even if not universal, it is quite usual among the Oslo population to pronounce Frogner more close to the spelling 'Frongner' rather than Frogner (some do say Frogner as well, both are allowed). And for english speakers, the name has absolutely no relation to frogs. The area became part of the city of Oslo (then Christiania) in 1878.

The royal estate Bygdøy kongsgård and the Oscarshall palace are also located here. Bygdøy has several public beaches and is a popular recreational area. On January 1, 2004, the previous borough of Uranienborg-Majorstuen and Bygdøy-Frogner were merged with Frogner, creating the current, larger borough[citation needed]. The borough is known for its many villas and parks. It is one of the most expensive boroughs in Oslo due to the central location, proximity to parks, marinas and pretty architecture, and more fundamentally because it was built mainly as a residential district for the upper classes from the 19th century[citation needed]. Many of these expansive old estates are now embassies, diplomatic missions, and other diplomatic representations. The Vigeland Museum, located in Frogner Park where the artist Gustav Vigeland lived and worked for nearly two decades.[citation needed] . It is the world's largest sculpture park made by a single artist, and is one of Norway's most popular tourist attractions.[citation needed] The park is open to visitors all year round. The unique sculpture park is Gustav Vigeland's lifework with more than 200 sculptures in bronze, granite and wrought iron.[citation needed] Vigeland was also in charge of the design and architectural layout of the park. The Vigeland installation was mainly completed between 1939 and 1949. Most of the sculptures are placed in five units along an 850 meter long axis: The Main gate, the Bridge with the Children's playground, the Fountain, the Monolith plateau and the Wheel of Life. Oslo City Museum is situated at Frogner Manor in Frogner Park. It is a museum of cultural history with one of the largest collections of paintings in Norway. The history of Oslo is illustrated by thematic exhibitions showing, among other things, the development of Oslo and the city's cultural and commercial activities. The Bygdøy peninsula - a short ferry journey from the city center - boasts several museums, including the Viking Ship Museum (Vikingskipshuset), the Kon-Tiki Museum, Norwegian Maritime Museum and the Norwegian Folk Museum.[4][5] The Norwegian Maritime Museum (Norsk Maritime Museum) was founded in 1914 and is a national museum with the responsibility to collect, research, and teach Norwegian maritime cultural heritage. A collection of Norwegian traditional boats is exhibited in the central hall and the museum also stages temporary exhibitions.[6] The Norwegian Folk Museum (Norsk Folkemuseum) includes the world's first open air museum when it was established in 1881.[7] It currently features over 160 buildings from a range of rural areas in Norway. The Gol Stave Church dating from 1200CE is one of five medieval buildings at the museum. The Kon-Tiki Museum is named after the raft on which Norwegian adventurer Thor Heyerdahl crossed the Pacific Ocean in 1947. Alongside the raft, the museum houses various artefacts related to Heyerdahl's other expeditions and a changing program of temporary exhibitions explores his life and work. Frogner is home to several restaurants and bars - including Feinschmecker, Alex Sushi and Bagatelle, while a range of cafés offer simpler food. #frogner #SAWAN_CONTEMPORARY_THAI_RESTAURANT #Niels_Juels_gate #Walking #Oslo #Norge #Norway
