which has been moved to Bygdo ana

museum building. Adjoining the
Storthing hall are couple Of rooms
with interiors from Norwegian homes
about the year 1914. In connection
with these rooms there will be spe-
cial exhibit illustrative OF the history
of culture. planned with reference to
the jubilee year. This exhibit VIII
present a picture of Norwegian homes
In each decade from 1920 till the pres
ent time. The exhibit will show the
tendencies or artistic taste that have
prevailed in the furnishing Of the
home. Many tendencies In house fur
nishings have manifested themselves
during the past century. and the en-
hibit will include both the creations
Of good taste and the products of less
desirable selection. In this way the
exhibit will aim to be both instructive
and entertaining.
In a separate hall the museum Is
arranging an exhibit OF portraits
which will include the pictures of the
leading men from 1914 to 1914. They
