15 June, 6 PM, the exhibition "Ole Bull and Edvard Grieg" opens in the museum building at Troldhaugen. As it should be, the exhibition opens on Edvard Grieg's birthday 15 June.

Ole Bull had a particular significance for Edvard Grieg's artistic development. About his first meeting with the violinis and virtuoso Ole Bull, Grieg wrote:

There will also be several performances with Bull´s music during this year's summer concerts at Troldhaugen.
