Ekebergparken is a 25.5-hectare public sculpture park situated on a wooded hill overlooking the Oslofjord and the city center. The collection features international contemporary art, including works by Salvador Dalí, Louise Bourgeois, and Damien Hirst. The site is a historically significant cultural heritage area containing ancient rock carvings and remains from the Stone Age. It was established and funded by real estate developer Christian Ringnes and opened to the public in 2013. The park integrates art installations into a preserved forest landscape featuring varied topography and walking trails.
