In August 20120, a team of seven collaborators traveled to the land of Gynt, gathering design ideas, folklore, and Ibsen research to bring home to the rest of the team. We had a guided tour of the Ibsen Museum in Oslo, met with the world’s leading Ibsen scholar, Vigdis Ystad, and visited the home of the historical Peer Gynt. Write-up here; images below.
