Fredensborg Palace Gardens - Normandsalen - Denmark
The Valley of the Norsemen - Farmers and fishermen in stone at Normandsalen - Sculpture museum in Fredensborg, Denmark. The creator of the collection was the Norwegian post driver Jorgen Christensen Garns. In his spare time, he would cut small wooden figures depicting the people he met on his mail route. One day he was given a prestigious order. His wooden figures had come into the hands of King Frederick V who now ordered a set of ivory and walrus tooth figures to model a series of life-size characters depicting ordinary people. Sculptures of Scandinavias farmers and fishermen were to appear in Fredensborg Palace Gardens where they still reside! Date: 1903
