  • Vesterheim, Decorah, IA

From Underwear to Everywhere: Norwegian
Sweaters

Exhibition open event is August 22, 2015, from 3:00-5:00 pm.
   
Nothing says Norwegian quite like a Norwegian sweater. Coming from humble beginnings as a warm layer under a vest and jacket, Norwegian sweaters are now worn all over the world and for almost every occasion. This exhibition will focus on the history and different styles of Norwegian sweaters, including Setesdal, Fana, Marius, and Olympic. Learn about the symbolism behind some of the patterns and colors on sweaters and consider both the technology and artistry of this iconic garment.

Exhibit will remain on display through April 24, 2016.
