"Olav H. Hauge (1908–1994) is one of our foremost poets and translators, and he lived his entire life in Ulvik. At the Haugesenteret, you can get to know Hauge's life story and poetic works better, and experience poetry in many forms and across language barriers. The museum offers experiences for both children and adults. Located beautifully by the fjord, with views of the mountains from the old municipal building in Ulvik. Exhibitions – Books with Many Thoughts From his home at Rossvoll in Ulvik, the poet and fruit farmer Hauge gained broad views and extensive knowledge through reading world literature. He wrote poems about everyday life and nature, and pondered many thoughts about life and literature in his diaries. In the exhibitions, you can explore various aspects of Hauge's poetry and his unique life. You can see his extensive book collection and get to know the authors who inspired him. The exhibitions engage multiple senses with installations about poetry and literature that you can see, hear, and touch. In the poetry workshop, you can let yourself be inspired to write poems. Throughout the summer season, you can also watch the documentary film "The Word Master Hauge" by Randi Storaas." ( visit link)
