Histoire
Les histoires que nous racontons ne viennent pas de nulle part : elles sont façonnées par notre culture et la reflètent. C'est pourquoi le contexte historique des mythes et des contes compte.
Although our museum focuses on mythology and folklore, we recognize that those aspects of culture do not exist in a vacuum. They were created and developed in a specific place and time for a reason -- they represent the people and societies that made them and have, in turn, an effect on them.
Alongside the stories and art at the core of Norwegian cultural heritage, we bring you the relevant facts, historical figures, and symbolism that stand behind them. The goal is to share the knowledge not just of the stories, but also the weight of the meaning they carry.
