The Ibsen Staircase, leading to the Telemark Museum Brekkeparken, is made of concrete and clad in granite. At the foot of the staircase stands a bust of Henrik Ibsen, created by the artist Håkon Anton Fagerås. This bust is a symbol of Ibsen's significance and contribution to literature. A similar bust has also been erected in Sorrento, Italy, the place where Henrik Ibsen wrote the dramas "Peer Gynt" and "Ghosts".
Staircase adorned with quotes from "Peer Gynt"
32 out of the 127 steps are embellished with famous quotes from Henrik Ibsen's renowned play "Peer Gynt". These quotes take you on a journey through the entire play, from the opening line in Act 1, "Peer - you're lying," to Soveig's famous line, "- in my hope and in my love," in Act 5.
