The nostalgic corner

Then Per Hebelstrup, our chief conservator, came up with another idea. The nostalgia corner was to be built with a real wall and a ceiling. According to Per's idea, the ceiling was to be provided with stucco and the walls were to be wallpapered.

The attic also had to be built with a strength that allowed the space above the attic to be used as an exhibition space. It is not without reason that Per is also called “Shelf Per” among his friends.

Per had already made detailed drawings, so it was only a matter of frequenting various hardware stores and paint shops and making the necessary purchases.

The practical implementation was done by Per, Sven and Tommy. Along the way we agreed to provide the floor with a “wall to wall” carpet, so a visit to Tæppeland plus some good persuasion skills meant that the museum was donated the necessary meters of carpet.

The result of the efforts is a small living room as it looked in the fifties with a radiogramophone, a television and a red deer on the wall. Of course, the living room is equipped with the authentic switches for the ceiling light and plugs, and as the icing on the cake, above the entrance is written in “old” script – The nostalgic corner.

New in the living room
In the first pictures of "The Nostalgic Corner" you can see a door in the living room. This door used to be a passage between the two neighboring rooms. For us at the museum, it has been a bit of an eyesore, as it has been somewhat out of place in the small room.
Per Hebelstrup then had the idea that we could make a bookcase by removing the door and replacing it with shelves. On the shelves, a significant part of the old non-fiction literature that we have been given as a gift will be placed. Museum guests can then sit in the chair in the Nostalgia Corner and read non-fiction literature from the childhood of radio.

As said, so done - the result can be seen in the last pictures in the photo series on this page.
