About this audio guide
This guide to the IBSEN Museum and Theatre in Oslo stands in the corner apartment where Henrik Ibsen spent his last eleven years with his wife Suzannah. It follows a painting: Christian Krohg's portrait of the Swedish dramatist August Strindberg, painted in Berlin in eighteen ninety-three, and the strange reason Ibsen wanted it in his study. Best heard in the red parlour, looking through into the study.
