Ibsen Museum in Oslo After 2006
An extensive amount of groundwork was carried out in the recreation of Henrik Ibsen's home. Thanks to financial support, goodwill on the part of donors and lenders, the painstaking efforts of the expert museum personnel and skilled craftsmen, an authentic impression of the writer's home has been created. The furniture has been reinstated while the floor, walls, ceiling and surfaces have been reconstructed according to archaeological building studies, supplemented by a range of historical sources. Where time had made its mark on the material of tablecloths, curtains and drapes, these have been rewoven as exact replicas of the originals.
