He wrote his first drama here, “Catilina” in 1849 and found the inspiration for the poem on Terje Vigen, in which large parts of the plot are set in the skerries around Grimstad. The museum contains Ibsen memorabilia from his whole life (1828-1906). The museum has a separate exhibition on the theme of the poem "Terje Vigen". The old chemist's shop also displays a unique period in pharmaceutical history.
