Norwegian folk art has long been embraced with great interest. Among this folk art, there is hardly any type of object that has been considered by both collectors and others as better representatives of it than wooden drinking vessels.

The collection, which has been systematically built up over a period of thirty years, is unique and the largest of its kind ever collected by a private individual.
