You may have already noticed it, words and letters embedded in street level everywhere. So, you are standing on one of the quotes from one of the world's most famous authors, Henrik Ibsen. His plays and dramas are read, performed, and filmed all over the world. You can find them embedded in the sidewalks from the Ibsen Museum on Henrik Ibsen's Street and past the Parliament on Karl Johans Street, the same route he walked daily from his apartment to the Grand Café. If you look around, you'll find a total of 69 quotes consisting of 4,011 sandblasted steel letters. The Ibsen Quote, also called Quote Street, consists of texts from Henrik Ibsen's poems, dramas, letters, and speeches. Famous plays such as "A Doll's House", "An Enemy of the People" and "Peer Gynt" are some of his world-renowned works. You can learn more about Henrik Ibsen by his statue outside the National Theater, not far from here. If you follow the quotes, you'll also come to the Ibsen Museum, where his home has been restored to the way it was when he and his wife Suzannah lived there, complete with the poet's own furniture, original colors, and décor.
