What a great museum...
We actually visited twice as we arrived too late on Saturday to be able to visit the apartment where Ibsen spent his last decade or so, so we came back the next day to see the apartment itself.
Well worth the visit. I've seen a few writer's museums and I can't think of any better than this. He was a truly prolific writer and produced a great body of plays such as Hedda Gabbler, The Master Builder, An Enemy of the People, When We Dead Awaken, Ghosts, Peer Gynt, A Doll's House, and of course John Gabriel Borkman, which we just saw in Dublin a few days ago.
Between 1850 and 1899 he wrote 27 plays, which is at least one play every other year or so.
He never went to college as he didn't do that well on his qualifying exams.
He did much of his writing while in self-exile in Italy and Germany during the years 1864-1891...
He is a playwright whose plays are well worth getting to know...
