Abstract

The exhibition «With my own hand» - «Folk Art» in a renewed view and new lighting

The comprehensive collections of folk art in Norsk Folkemuseum (Norwegian Folk Museum) in Oslo were presented in a new «basic» exhibition in 1993. The concept of «folk art» in Norway is mostly understood as «rural hand craft» or «rural art», produced in the country districts for the rural milieu, mostly for the more well-to-do social classes, before industrialism started around 1850.
