The rehabilitation of the Institute building and other renovations are entering an exciting phase. The colours are starting to cover increasingly more of the facades, and the office floor and the terraces are ready to be tiled.
The University of Gothenburg and the Institutes soon-to-be research fellow Irene Selsvold are currently in the midst of an exciting excavation project in Vulci in the summer heat, and invited us to a tour of the excavation area.
Irene will soon be our new colleague in Rome, Her research concentrates on Late Antiquity, burial traditions and societal changes, but her interests go well beyond that.
The Constitution of Norway was signed at Eidsvoll on 17th of May 1814. It is celebrated as Norway's national day, also in Rome. Norwegian visitors and expats gather at the non-catholic cemetery, at the grave of P.A. Munch.
The Norwegian Institute has strengthened its bond to neighbours and collaboration partners during the restoration of the Norwegian house in Viale Trenta Aprile 33. It would hardly have been possible to organise the course in classical studies this Spring, if it had not been for the generosity and collaboration with The Finnish institute and the Circolo Scandinavo.
We are delighted to present a digital exhibition showcasing the history of our Institutional building on the Gianicolo Hill in Rome.
