Ole Aastad Bråten, Valdresmusea: "Experiences from working with the traveling exhibition Skakke folk costumes and its reception in the summer season 2023."

Panel discussion with the presenters and Line Førre Grønstad, Skeivt Arkiv led by Maja Musum, Randsfjord Museum and the National Museum (Curator of Skakke folk costumes).
