Petter Dass
(*1647 - †1707) was big personality in northern Norway. He was priest (
and quite enlightened person in that time) and most famous like a poet. He created songs from catechism, so it was easier for people to learn them.
Museum of Petter Dass is directly opposite to the Alstahaug church where he served as a priest. Building of museum was opened in 2007 and it is really interesting piece of art.

The building is set into a rock and it perfectly
coinciding with the surroundings. Interior made an impression on me, too. Actually I felt same like in Knut Hamsun center. Lines are narrow but
unsynchronized. Variability of space is playful, colours are more natural. When you are inside, you are enjoying observing. Information are provided in norwegian but also in english. I find this museum like really interesting and nice one. Furthermore there is library in second floor and projection room on the ground floor - also cafe. I think this place calls you to be creative and enjoy your time here. So it is really great for teachers and schools to connect this place with "learning by doing".

It was an interesting trip, there were many things that you could do inside the museum, but outside there were beautiful views! I was also interesting when we spoke about the relation between the museum and the human and the heaven. What do you think about it?

SvarSlettI agree that you can find similarities to the Knut Hamsun Center in Hamrøy and I also think that this museum is a good place for Teachers and their students. Furthermore, I also like that the museum is part of nature.
SvarSlettI find the fact really interessting that he composed songs to remember certain text and rules.
SvarSlettI really like the place where the museum is located, uniting new and old in one place. Nice description of the museum and about Petter Dass!
