norskfolkemuseum

I just did a little google search on this amazing building and found a replica built in Minot, North Dakota USA. www.norskwoodworks.com/golstave.shtml -- Seen in your Photochrom Travel Views set. (?)

And actually the Norwegian spelling would be "Gol stavkirke", and it is not located in Oslo, but in a city called "Gol"

This is the church from Gol, but it was moved to Oslo (Christiania) in 1884, to be a part of King Oscar II's outdoor museum, now called Norsk folkemuseum (Norwegian folk museum). You can read more about it here: www.norskfolkemuseum.no/en/Exhibits/The-Open-Air-Museum/O... And here: www.norskfolkemuseum.no/en/Stories/Set-1/The-Stave-Church/

Hi, this photo is being discussed in one of the projects in the Flickr Commons group, and we'd love to have this added to the group pool!

Gol does have it's own stavekirke now, which, bizarrely, is a copy of this one, that was built in the 1990s.

Er ikke dette P.Z. serien? Altså Photochrom Zürich som har gitt ut dette bilde?

Det var flere utgivere av disse photochromene. Dette eksemplaret er ikke merket med "P.Z.". Vi har derfor foreløpig ikke angitt utgiver. Se også her: www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/pgz/process.html for mer informasjon fra Library of Congress.

Her ser det ut til at Hulda Garborg har antrukket seg i en Hallingdalsbunad med en ikke-tilhørende lomme. Hun mangler det karakteristiske "hengesølvet" i front på bæreselene, og burde vel strengt tatt også hatt et forkle? Litt i tvil på sistnevnte detaljer.

Tusen takk for innspill! Kanskje noen andre kan hjelpe oss med sistnevnte detaljer?

Christiania seems to have a long tradition of slightly odd architecture, including things built outward like this one. This was in my contacts' photos just last week: www.flickr.com/photos/dgbalancesrocks/3179720688/

A "stabbur" is a small building made for storage of food. I believe the "outward" style has something to do with keeping mice and rats out of the building.

I would guess that this "stabbur" is located in an outdoor museum located at Bygdøy in Oslo called Norsk Folkemuseum (Norwegian folk museum). Christiania is an old name of Norways capital Oslo. The museum have, among other things, a collection of old norwegian buildings, and it was founded in 1894. Lú: The Christiania in the picture you are linking to is in Denmark. It's a part of Copenhagen.

Oh well! Carry on :)

This is indeed at the Folkemuseum. I feel a huge urge go there immediately and get a "now" shot from this angle!
