About this audio guide
This guide to the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History in Oslo steps back to a winter night in eighteen forty-nine, when a Telemark fiddler known as the Miller Boy walked onto a concert platform in the capital with Ole Bull at his side. It follows the country dance tunes he carried in from the valleys, and the farm buildings of his that ended up here. Best heard standing in the Telemark farmstead.
