Did you know that?
The texts on the pole hunt are written by Jørgen Haave at Telemark Museum. With his book "The Ibsen Family", he has discovered a lot of new information about Henrik Ibsen's upbringing. The new information refutes many of the incorrect myths about Ibsen's time in Skien.
We would love to hear from you!
