Exhibition in the house from Olderfjord

The house from Olderfjord is furnished as Elvira and Ole Persens home, but it also contains photographs and texts, as well as screens with pictures and films, which tell about the Persen family and about the reconstruction of Finnmark after World War II.

    The sewing machine at the table has belonged to Lillian Greiner Petterson in Brennelv in Porsanger. The sewing machine was dug into the sand floor of the family garage before the forced evacuation. When they returned to the burnt-down property after the war, they could dig out the sewing machine. The family built a new house below the road after the war and now the sewing machine was again in use. Haakon Harriss | Norsk Folkemuseum
