• Welcome Home

    In Ibsen’s works, the home is never neutral. It is a place of identity, of secrets, a façade, or an inner landscape. This is what we will convey in 2028

    Portrait of Henrik Ibsen

    From 2028, the Henrik Ibsen Museum will focus on the theme of home. In one part of the museum, you will find Henrik Ibsen’s childhood home, and in the other, a new, modern museum building. In many of Ibsen’s plays, the home is a central setting for the action. We aim to explore how the home is connected to identity, secrets, power, and conflict — and why these themes remain eternally relevant.

    Through many of Ibsen’s characters, we are introduced to existential questions related to the home. Both Hedda Gabler and Nora in A Doll’s House experience the home as a confined prison. In The Wild Duck, the home shifts from being a place of safety to becoming a place of lies.

    With this as a backdrop, the concept of home becomes both a physical and an inner space. This forms the foundation for the content presented in the farmhouse and the barn.

    Welcome to children, young people, and adults in 2028!

    A home for us, a home for you.
