Museums Reopen on 5 February<\/h1>\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n
\n\n

\"Winter<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n
\n

We are closed in January. During this period, we are building a new exhibition about the fairy-tale artist Theodor Kittelsen at Brekkeparken, and we are preparing for the celebration of Porsgrunds Porsel\u00e6nsfabrik at the Porcelain Museum in Porsgrunn.<\/p>\n

The Kittelsen Exhibition<\/h3>\n

The artist Theodor Kittelsen was born in Krager\u00f8 in 1857. Telemark Museum is responsible for his childhood home, Kittelsenhuset, located in the centre of Krager\u00f8. This museum is open during the school summer holidays. In Brekkeparken in Skien, Telemark Museum has its main offices and larger exhibition spaces. A new exhibition is currently being developed here, intended to inspire visitors and tell the story of this creative artist.<\/p>\n

Fairy-tale illustrations are central to Kittelsen\u2019s artistic work and have become part of Norway\u2019s cultural heritage. During the late 19th century, creating a national identity was an important project for the young nation of Norway. Asbj\u00f8rnsen and Moe collected Norwegian folk tales, inspired by the Brothers Grimm in Germany, and Henrik Ibsen wrote Peer Gynt<\/em>. Kittelsen\u2019s contribution was a visual expression that became defining for what we today consider distinctly Norwegian.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Porcelain Anniversary<\/h3>\n

On 10 February, the entire city of Porsgrunn celebrates the anniversary of Porsgrunds Porsel\u00e6nsfabrik. The professional seminar Golden Seams<\/em> (Gylne S\u00f8mmer) will focus on repair in craft and applied arts.<\/p>\n

The title of the seminar refers to the well-known Japanese art form kintsugi<\/em>, in which broken ceramics are repaired by bonding the pieces together with lacquer that is then highlighted with gold powder. Instead of hiding damage, cracks and breaks are emphasized, becoming a beautiful and visible part of the object\u2019s history. The philosophy behind kintsugi is about embracing imperfections and seeing the beauty in what is broken, and about how repair can make an object even more valuable than it originally was.<\/p>\n

The seminar is a collaboration between Porsgrunds Porsel\u00e6nsfabrik, the Municipality of Porsgrunn, the Porcelain Museum\/Telemark Museum, and Kunsthall Grenland\/Kunstl\u00f8ypa \u2013 Between the Bridges<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n\n
