This website is an updated and expanded version of the original Norway Cultural Profile, which was researched and written by Kristin Danielsen, edited by Trude Gomnaes and Nina Hodneland, and published in 2004 by Visiting Arts. The project was made possible thanks to support from Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Royal Norwegian Embassy in London.
All efforts have been made to ensure that the information in the profile is accurate at the time of publication. Corrections, additions and/or deletions should be mailed to [email protected].
