Ski Rådhus (Ski Community Hall). “Hester og hestekarer”
In the community hall of Ski just outside of Oslo, Norway, there hangs a 1976 version of the tapestry “Hester og hestekarer” (“Horses and horsemen”). There are two known versions of this tapestry. The other version was woven about 10 years before by Olaug Hansen. Mr. Jonsborg sometimes allowed for more than one version to be woven. It is unknown who has woven the 1976 version of the tapestry. If you know, or know the details of how the tapestry ended up there, please inform the web editor so that he can give the person the proper credits.
