Niels Henrik Abel

Niels Henrik Abel is a historic site, at a modelled elevation of 19 m. Tryvannshøgda stands 530 m to the north-northwest, 5.5 miles off. The nearest named place is Kong Haakon VII, a artwork 0.1 miles away.

Vigeland ønsket egentlig at statuen skulle plasseres midt på Universitetsplassen, men der stod allerede statuen av A. M. Schweigaard. Flere plasseringer ble diskutert, men i 1907 ble det besluttet av Slottsparken var stedet.
