Ibsenmuseet

Henrik Ibsen is not only recognised as the founder of modern drama but, alongside William Shakespeare, he is the most performed playwright in the world. His plays, including classics such as A Doll’s House, Ghosts, Hedda Gabler, The Wild Duck and Peer Gynt, have been around for generations and are still as relevant today as they were when they were written. Founded by Knut Wigert in June 1990, the Ibsen Museum contains Henrik Ibsen’s home along with exhibitions presenting his life and works. Beautifully located between the Royal Castle and the Nobel Peace Center, the museum has become an important part of Oslo and its history.
