MINI CRAFTSWORKER
Let the children try being a craftsworker in Nidaros Cathedral Restoration Workshop.
What is it like to repair a building that is almost 1,000 years old and which has hundreds of stained glass windows and thousands of sculptures? Children can chip stones with hammer and chisel, forge their own sword ornaments and have a go at being lead glassworkers with craftsmen who work daily on restoring Nidaros Cathedral.

Sculpture workshop
We believed that theremust be around 5,000 sculptures on and in Nidaros Cathedral. Throughout history, many sculptors and stone carvers have created large and small, beautiful and creepy figures outside and inside the cathedral. At the sculpture workshop, the children get to make their own sculpture inspired by the sculptures in the cathedral. They can take the sculptures home.

What would Nidaros Cathedral say if the walls could talk? Come along to a shadow theater performance where you will hear dramatic stories from the Middle Ages and from the restoration that started 150 years ago. And, what is it about that monk?

Build a cathedral: 150 years in 150 pictures
This year it is 150 years since the restoration of the dilapidated Nidaros Cathedral began in 1869. Since then, over six hundred artisans, artists, architects and scientists have together spent thousands of full work years together on this gigantic project: to restore Nidaros Cathedral as a national shrine. On the occasion of this anniversary, we present a cavalcade of historical pictures from these 150 years which together illustrate how the cathedral was rebuilt. An interesting lecture by Øystein Ekroll, archaeologist and researcher from NDR.
