Ibsen Museum

The Ibsen Museum occupies a residential building in central Oslo where the Norwegian playwright lived and created his most important works. The structure preserves the original room layout, furnishings, and personal objects from the years when he lived there between 1895 and 1906.

The building became Henrik Ibsen's home in the 1890s when he settled in Oslo to write his final dramatic works. It was transformed into a museum in 1990 to preserve the significance of this residence for future generations.

The place is named after Norway's most influential playwright and carries deep meaning in the country's literary and theatrical traditions. Visitors experience how his ideas shaped modern drama and continue to influence artists and audiences across generations.

The museum is open on select days throughout the week and offers guided tours in different languages. It is helpful to check the opening hours beforehand as they may vary depending on the season.

The playwright's study with his desk remains preserved exactly as it was during his lifetime. Visitors can step into this personal workspace where some of the most important modern dramas came to life.
