Culture Night in Skien: Ibsen on the program

Art, music, theater and dance. There will be a festive atmosphere in Skien next Saturday when Culture Night is held for the second time. Here is a selection of experiences related to Ibsen.

1:00 PM, Brekkparken: City walk in Ibsen's footsteps
Would you like to know more about Henrik Ibsen's childhood in Skien?

Here you will see where Henrik lived as a child and how the family lived an upper-class life in the hustle and bustle before his father Knud Ibsen went bankrupt. We tell about various memories that Henrik himself has written down from his childhood, and what he was like as a young boy in Skien until he moved away from home at the age of 15.

Join us on a walk through Ibsen's Skien and hear the stories from the city that shaped the playwright.
