Norwegian culture

Norway is a young nation with a long history, especially as a maritime nation. In spite of being joined to Denmark for 400 years, Norway retained a strong cultural tradition of its own which, together with cultural impulses from abroad, produced its own unique diversity. This can be seen not only in museums and galleries, but also in the landscape.

 		  

Folk dance

In addition to its music, literature and art, Norwegian culture is evident in the traditional national costumes or bunads, which are worn with pride on special occasions such as weddings, christenings and of course on 17 May, the Norwegian national day.
The Sami are the indigenous people of Norway and are today a minority group. They have their own parliament and live mainly in Oslo and in the county of Finnmark in northern Norway. The Sami people traditionally make their living from reindeer herding, hunting and fishing. They have a very interesting cultural heritage of which they are proud, and they produce beautiful arts and crafts.
