The Ibsen Museum

You are now standing outside the apartment of Henrik and Suzannah Ibsen, which has been converted into a museum today. The world-renowned playwright lived here for the last 11 years of his life until his death in 1906. Alongside William Shakespeare, Ibsen is the most performed playwright in the world. The apartment has been restored to the time of Ibsen, with the poet's own furniture and inventory. The museum also shows exhibitions about the internationally known playwright's life and poetry. Every single day, Ibsen put on his hat and walked to the Grand Café, past the Parliament. With his characteristic white beard, he was a well-visible and popular man in the city streets, and he had his own regular table at the venerable café. Here he combed through newspapers in conversation with the city's elite and often enjoyed a beer and a dram. In the sidewalks along the route, there are now laid 69 quotes from his plays, speeches, or letters. Feel free to visit his apartment and familiarize yourself with the history of the playwright with a subsequent walk along all the quotes.
