It is part ofOslo Museum and is located near the manor house ofFrogner Manor. It is located on a small hill on the edge of Frogner Park that is known asUtsikten ("The View"). The pavilion is listed as a protected cultural heritage site. The pavilion is shaped like a classic octagonalround temple with acolonnade, inspired by structures fromGreco-Roman antiquity but made with Norwegian materials. The ceiling is a painted miniature copy of the dome over thePantheon temple in Rome, which makes the room feel larger than it actually is.
It was built around 1824 at Fossum Manor atBlaafarveværket, where the young Wegner couple lived as Benjamin Wegner had become a co-cowner and the director of Blaafarveværket in 1822. It was moved to Frogner Park after Wegner boughtFrogner Manor in 1836.[2][3][4][5] The park is located within Wegner Park, the romantic landscape park built around 1840 for the Wegner family within today's (larger) Frogner Park. Henriette and Benjamin Wegner have descendants in, among others, the Wegner,Paus, and Nørregaard families.
The pavilion is occasionally open to the public as an artist-run art gallery and used for smaller cultural events during the summer.[6]
