Klosterenga is Oslo municipality’s largest outdoor art project since Vigelandsparken. Here, in the park behind Oslo prison, Bård Breivik’s sculpture park will be completed after several decades. The project will cost around NOK 150 million. The zoning plan was adopted in 2015. The excavation work started this autumn.
