Have you heard about the Anne Grimdalen Lodge ?
In California the Daughters of Norway have a lodge called Anne Grimdalen Lodge. This lodge was named for a noted woman sculpter, who was born in 1899 in the Telemark county in Norway. Anne Grimdalen studied art in Oslo, and in 1931, her statue "Girl on a Horse" was bought by the Norwegian National Gallery. She later won a national competition, and three of her pieces were selected to decorate the newly built City Hall in Oslo. She created large pieces of sculpter based not only on historic themes, but also on nature and common people.(more).
Grimdalstunet is a museum in Tokke in Telemark, built to honour the artist Anne Grimdalen, on her birth place, Grimdalen. In addition to the sculptures in the City Hall in Oslo, Anne Grimdalen has got sculptures in both Paris and New York. She is mostly known for her children and animal sculptures. At the museum you will find sculptures, and the house where she was born.
