When Harald and Nina married in 1922, this flat was furnished for them. Not much has changed since then. Harald's uniform and walking stick are placed by the door, Nina's piano stands ready, as does her writing desk and embroidery nook, and his office.
Harald Aamodt was passionate about the history of his town, and worked hard to save Øvrebyen, Kongsvinger's old town, from being torn down in the years after World War Two. He succeeded, but did not live to see it. As he and Nina had no children, the grand house was bequeathed to the museum when he passed in 1968.
Due to the current pandemic, we are unable to schedule visits to this wonderful apartment this summer.
We can still arrange for a visit for small groups booked in advance. Contact us!
