The Iconic Painting at Stein Skolemuseum
One of the highlights of the Stein skolemuseum is the large oil painting 'I natt red'n Henrik forbi'. This artwork, inspired by Ingeborg Refling Hagen's poem of the same name, covers the entire back wall of one of the classrooms. It depicts Henrik Wergeland on his horse Vesle-Brunen, scattering flowers and seeds behind him.
