We are huge coffee consumer, and are always on the lookout for something new. Branded products are found in all price ranges – but do you know who actually sewed the trousers you wear?
Norway is among the countries in the world with the highest consumption of coffee per person. Coffee has long traditions in Norway and has been a commodity and an instrument of power for hundreds of years. Do you know who harvested your coffee bean?
Welcome to an exciting day at the Historical Museum, where we spark conversations about themes like the clothing industry, fair trade, exploitation - extending back to colonial times, and the story about a Norwegian who ended up as a slave in Algeria, and was coffee bearer there.
