Grimstad

Famed as the poet town, a visit to Ibsen Museum, a tribute to Norway's well-known playwright and poet, Henrik Ibsen is a must. Built in 1916, the museum gives you some insight into the life of Henrik Ibsen when he was an apothecary's helper. This is where he first wrote poetry and the play, Catilina. To find out about how ships were built in wood with wind sails, nineteenth century trading and more, go to Maritime Museum. Drive a bit further away from Norway's maritime town centre and you will come across the Norwegian Horticulture Museum, which is located in Dommesmoen Park. This spectacular park offers the beautiful sight of ripe strawberries, various flowers and apples for your admiration. If you were to visit the museum, you will come across three key exhibits, one that has to do with the ecological interplay of flowers and bees. And of course, exploring Grimstad won't be complete without a drive around the town, admiring the amazing archipelago, reputed to be one of the best in Norway.
