About this experience

In Thue old school you will find the Valborg Collection, an exhibition of old local everyday used textils and equipments.

Valborg Kroken was born in 1905 and started to collect old things from the farm were she lived.

Most of the items are mainly connected to the life and work of women at a small local farm, and this distinguishes the exhibition from others.

Most of the objects are from 1800 - 1900, the oldest item is a pewter dish from 1690.

Today there are about 500 items in the collection.
