Guided tour of Knut Hamsun's childhood home
In the childhood home you are greeted by a narrator who invites you to join him for a story telling session around the table over a cup of coffee. The story is about Hamsun's journey from his birthplace in Gudbrandsdalen, to his upbringing in Hamarøy and teenage life in Nordland, until he took the step into the world at the age of nineteen to become a writer.
