About the tour<\/h2>\n

You\u2019ll see where young Henrik lived and get a glimpse into the family\u2019s upper-class life of comfort and luxury\u2014before his father, Knud Ibsen, went bankrupt. We\u2019ll share some of Henrik\u2019s own childhood memories and stories about what he was like as a boy in Skien, up until he left home at the age of 15.<\/p>\n

Practical information<\/h2>\n

The guided tour lasts one hour.
It begins at the VEV museum building in Brekkeparken, \u00d8vregate 32a.
From there, we descend the Ibsen Steps<\/em> toward the bust of Ibsen at Sorrento plass in Snipetorpgata and into Skien city center.<\/p>\n

We continue through the city and end the tour by walking up Snipetorpgata, via Tomtegata, and back to the final stop in Brekkeparken. The last part of the route is a bit steep, but the view over Skien from the top makes it worth it!<\/p>\n

At Caf\u00e9 Aall Inn in Brekkeparken, you can enjoy delicious food and drinks either before or after the tour. (Please book in advance.)<\/p>\n

More Ibsen at VEV<\/h2>\n

Inside the VEV museum building, we also have an Ibsen exhibition. The theme of the exhibition changes, and in 2026 you can see photographs from Skien taken before the great city fire of 1886:<\/p>\n
