Upgrading towards the Ibsen Year 2028
In 2028, it will be 200 years since Skien's great son, Henrik Ibsen, was born. On the occasion of the upcoming anniversary, Skien Municipality initiated a comprehensive strategy work involving cultural actors, tourism, business, volunteers and politics. The result was "Strategy for Ibsen 2028", with ambitious goals for a magnificent anniversary with upgrading of the city, events and activities that will help to lift Skien and the region towards - and beyond - the anniversary year.
Unite, develop and profile Ibsenbyen Skien
Ibsenbyen.no is a result of this work. The main goal is for the website to help unite, develop and profile Skien as an Ibsen town, in a way that lives up to our vision of challenging and inspiring. Among other things, we will keep you updated on the plans for the anniversary, give you new knowledge about Henrik Ibsen's upbringing in Skien, and tips for Ibsen-related experiences in the region. We hope this can be one of many future contributions to a renewed sense of pride in being a resident of the Ibsen town of Skien.
A digital portal to Ibsen's world
Henrik Ibsen does not belong to Skien alone. This website is therefore also intended to be a portal to other Ibsen venues and actors in Norway and abroad. Here, as the website develops, you will find relevant material, whether it is self-produced or in the form of interesting tips about other Ibsen-related events, cases or news.
Yours sincerely
