Museum in Norway

The Bjørgan parsonage (Norwegian: Bjørgan prestegård) is a museum and former parsonage for Kvikne Church in Kvikne in the northern part of Tynset Municipality in Innlandet county, Norway. It is where the writer Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson (1832–1910) was born and lived during his early childhood, from 1832 to 1837, while his father was the parish priest at Kvikne (1831–1837). The house was built in 1780 and it was used as a parsonage until 1860. In 1917, the teacher Tilla Valstad discovered that the main building was going to be demolished. She started a collection with the goal of making the place
