Topping-off 25.09.25<\/h1>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n

September 25th marks another milestone at Henrik Ibsen Museum. The roof on the barn is complete, and true to the Scandinavian tradition, we celebrated with a \u201ckranselag\u201d or a topping-out.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n<\/section>\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the workers and the craftworkers who build this country, and today we\u2019re celebrating those who builds The Henrik Ibsen Museum here at Venst\u00f8p, in Skien, the new Henrik Ibsen Museum.\u201d Said project leader Bj\u00f8rn Rudborg.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n

What is a \u201ckranselag\u201d?<\/h3>\n

A \u201ckranselag\u201d or a topping-out is a celebration hosted by the builder or developer for the workers once the roof structure of a new building is finished. According to tradition, the workers raise a wreath or tree branch at the roof ridge of the building. If the builder or developer offers a celebration or a gift within a week of the wreath being placed, the workers hang a wreath or a flag in gratitude. If not, they may hang a \u201crag man\u201d or a \u201cridge goblin\u201d as a statement.<\/p>\n

Topping-off at the distillery, Spriten at Kloster\u00f8ya, DigitaltMuseum, Telemark Museum<\/a><\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

\n

We would like to thank the workers affiliated with our outstanding general contractor, Consto AS, as well as G\u00f8ran Dreyer Jonsk\u00e5s, the site manager.
\nWe also extend our thanks to workers from the many subcontractors and suppliers, including Eltera Skagerak, Bravida, TKT Inneklima, Rosbach & Forsland Bygg, Eckholt Maskinentrepren\u00f8r, Malemester Kjelden og Tufte, and Elektrosveis.<\/p>\n

The building the workers are working on may resemble an ordinary barn, but it is a national attraction, and one of the most important preserved artist homes in the country. After World War II, the main house was restored to reflect how it would have looked roughly 100 years earlier.
\nThe difference between the post-war restoration at Venst\u00f8p and the work being done now is that this time we are restoring it back another 100 years \u2014 a total of 200 years.
\nAs for the barn, we are not restoring it; we are creating something new. The barn will become an exhibition space dedicated to Henrik Ibsen\u2019s life and literary legacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud of you! And I\u2019m sure you are proud of your own work as well. I can feel it every time I stop by. I notice the good atmosphere, the smiles, and the friendly greetings. Just a few days ago, I was up on the roof discussing old roof tiles. Reusing old, weathered tiles is incredibly complex \u2014 not even one is perfect. But the mood and the effort were top-notch. That\u2019s how all of you have been. We\u2019ve been fortunate to have the very best workers, craftsmen, and professionals here at the Henrik Ibsen Museum. That\u2019s how we create an attraction. So thank you so much!\u201d
\nthe project manager concluded.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
