Henrik Ibsen Museum
Henrik Ibsen Museum is on the site of the Venstøp farm in Gjerpen, 5 km from the center of Skien. In 1835 the Ibsen family moved out to Venstøp and stayed there for 7 years. This is where playwright Henrik Ibsen lived starting when he was 7 until he was 15 years old. The museum mainly focuses on the themes of childhood, adolescence and schooling, and shows how much this period of life actually meant to Ibsen's life and later work.
