(before 1963)

The Sundial (Norwegian: Soluret) is a sculpture that is part of the Vigeland installation in Frogner Park in Oslo, created by Gustav Vigeland. It is a sundial that stands on a pedestal with granite reliefs between the Monolith and the Wheel of Life. The sundial dates back to around 1930.[1] It is one of two sundials in Frogner Park, alongside Benjamin Wegner's sundial in front of Frogner Manor.

The Sundial was vandalized in 2003.[2][3]
