Prøysenstua

Prøysenstua is a museum housed in a traditional farmhouse that documents the life and work of Norwegian author Alf Prøysen. It displays personal belongings, manuscripts, and photographs from his time in this childhood home.

The house was the birthplace of an author born in 1914 who later became known for writing children's books and folk songs. His works drew from the culture and stories of rural Norway.

The place preserves how ordinary people in this region lived and created, showing connections between their daily routines and the songs and stories they told. You see how creativity grew from everyday life in these communities.

The museum has regular opening hours and offers guided tours for visitors who want to learn more about what is displayed. There are dedicated spaces for children where they can engage hands-on with the content.

The museum has several rooms specifically designed for children with activities tied to characters from the author's works. Each room lets young visitors experience the stories through play and interaction.
