Christian charity has taken many shapes and had various goals through history. Changes happened e. g. during the Reformation, and the attitudes towards the needy changed as well.

This guided tour in English points out some aspects of charity and presents some examples from Northern Norway in the exhibition "Oh my God - the long reformation in Northern Norway" and in our exhibition of ecclesiastical art.

Your guide is Per Helge Nylund.
