Vesterheim Magazine Vol. 3, No. 2 2005 - Got Wood?

Vesterheim is published twice a year, featuring in-depth articles focusing on the museum's priceless collections of artifacts, Norwegian-American history and culture, and up-to-date information on all museum events, classes, tours, and education opportunities.

This issue highlights the traditional Norwegian folk arts of wood and its decoration, including acanthus carving, figure carving, kolrosing, and more. Olav Mortensen also gives an expert glimpse at some of the knives in Vesterheim's collections, plus a comparison of Norwegian and Swedish weaving techniques by Katherine Larson, and an intimate portrait of Norway's Princess Martha Louise.
