Ibsen Museum
About

Tucked away near Oslo’s Royal Palace, the Ibsen Museum offers an intimate look into the final chapter of Henrik Ibsen’s life. Located in the very apartment where the playwright lived and worked for his last 11 years, the museum preserves original interiors, including his study where masterpieces like Hedda Gabler and The Master Builder were penned. Visitors step into a meticulously restored space, complete with authentic furnishings, colors, and decor that evoke the late 19th century. Beyond the apartment, the museum features exhibitions that explore Ibsen’s dramatic legacy and personal story, including the thought-provoking “I’d Rather Ask” installation. Outside, quotes from his plays are etched into the pavement, inviting reflection even before entering. As both a cultural landmark and a literary pilgrimage site, the Ibsen Museum bridges past and present, offering a rare glimpse into the mind of one of Norway’s—and the world’s—most influential dramatists.
