  1. Yesterday the US fam got to see a nice stave church in the folk zoo in Oslo, but today we saw a wild one in its natural habitat. #Heddal #StaveChurch

  2. My #MidweekMuseum today is the Norsk Folkemuseum (or Norwegian Museum of Cultural History) at Bygdøy in Oslo, Norway. It's an open-air museum housing dozens of historical buildings relocated to this area for preservation, and home of the Gol Stave Church (circa 1200 CE), one of three stave churches we've now visited in Norway when travelling. Who doesn't love a stave church?

  3. When you attend a seminar where people fight over whether the "Urnes animal" (the animal depicted on the #Urnes #stavechurch) is a horse or a lion, thereby ignoring the fundament of Scandinavian #animalstyle as the hybridisation of species.

    Thankfully, the amazing contributions of other lecturers made up for it!
