TOUR TYPE
1/0
NOTES
Join a guided visit at Langsae, a high society estate built in 1857 for consul Hans Herlofson, a formidable merchant and ship owner. On the property is also a farmer's dwelling, highlighting the striking difference between the rich and the poor. Use the opportunity to visit the main museum Kuben exhibitions: “Childhood” exhibition is an amazing journey through Norwegian childhood history; and"Enslaved", reflects the darker side of Norwegian history, and the country's involvement in the slave trade of the 1700s and 1800s. And why not try out the traditional "Munker" pastry – or browse the museum shop for artisan quality gifts and mementos.
