Oslo Oddness

We've moved on from Oslo, but there was a tourist attraction we just had to share with you. The Oslo natives are very proud of it.
Set in a lovely park are a series of statues in granite & bronze by sculptor Gustavo Vigeland.  Apparently they moved him from his workshop, but gave him a new one in the park. In appreciation, he gifted them all the products of his labour - some 210 pieces. 
They are all human beings doing 'human things'. We didn't think some of the things were very human at all, and some were so strange they were funny or just plain disturbing.  Here are our creative interpretations.  Let's see what you think.

Man fending off baby attack?

Marge Simpson?

Boys looking for superman...or an asteroid about to crash to earth?

Cube 'o babies?

Family mosh pit?

Who knows?

Grumpy baby.

And the final masterpiece - giant column of human bodies (with tourist).

We hope you enjoy these as much as we did!
