Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park

Tjuvholmen Sculpture Park is an open-air sculpture park integrated into the contemporary waterfront architecture of Tjuvholmen, with immediate views of the Oslofjord. The park was conceived in connection with the Astrup Fearnley Museum complex and the architecture of Renzo Piano, creating a distinctive meeting point between contemporary art, landscaped green areas, the promenade and the sea. As an open public space, it has no conventional fixed seating capacity or numbered seats of the kind found in arenas and stadiums.

The experience is centred on moving between sculptures, lawns and the waterfront promenade, allowing visitors to view the artworks from different perspectives while enjoying the open setting beside the water. There is no enclosed concert-hall acoustics or traditional grandstand seating; instead, the atmosphere is informal and closely connected to the surrounding landscape. The park itself is primarily dedicated to art and public space, while restaurants and other visitor services are available throughout the surrounding Tjuvholmen area.

The park is located at Strandpromenaden 2, Oslo, Norway. The final approach is on foot through Tjuvholmen and along the waterfront promenade; the Tjuvholmen bus stop provides convenient nearby access, while drivers can use the large underground Tjuvholmen parking facility and continue to the park on foot.

Oslo, the capital of Norway, is not only a city of fjords and design, but also one of Scandinavia’s most appealing destinations for sports spectacles and concerts. Urban, modern, and easy to navigate, Oslo combines top-level event organization with a relaxed atmosphere, making it an ideal choice for both a quick getaway and a longer stay. Visitors appreciate the compact city center, clear wayfinding, and a sense of safety that keeps the whole experience carefree.

One of Oslo’s biggest strengths is connectivity: public transport under the Ruter system includes the T-banen (metro), the Trikken (tram), and numerous bus routes, making it easy to reach the key areas with arenas and stadiums. The main rail hub, Oslo S, is a natural starting point for getting around, while travelers arriving by air land at Oslo Lufthavn Gardermoen, where links to the city center are fast and convenient, including the Flytoget (Airport Express Train). Whether you arrive by train, plane, or car, event-day logistics in Oslo are generally simple and predictable.

When you’re not in the stands or in front of the stage, Oslo offers plenty of “tourist bonus” within walking distance: stroll along Karl Johans gate toward the central squares, stop by Aker Brygge and the waterfront promenade, or enjoy views of the Oslofjorden. History lovers often choose a walk around Akershus festning, while a calmer pace is perfect for museums, parks, and neighborhoods with excellent dining. That’s how attending an event in Oslo can easily turn into a complete city-break experience, with plenty to do before and after your night out.
