Norwegian culture, among the richest in Scandinavia, is deeply rooted in its historical past. It is characterized by its love for the bounty that nature offers from vast forests, rugged mountains, to clear, crisp lakes. The strong connection can be seen in the importance they place on outdoor activities, such as hiking, cycling and skiing, evident in the concept of ‘friluftsliv’ or 'outdoor living'.
Norwegian culture also places great emphasis on social equality, respect for privacy, and modesty. This egalitarian mindset is expressed through their flat organization structure, also known as ‘Jante Law’. It promotes the idea that no one is better than anyone else.
Furthermore, Norwegians have a rich culinary tradition and are particularly famous for their seafood, especially salmon and cod. Norwegian pastries like Skillingsboller and Krumkake are also widely loved.
Norwegian Literature, with Henrik Ibsen leading the field, includes folk tales known as eventyr which feature trolls and other mythical Nordic creatures. The country's artistic prowess shines through artist Edvard Munch's masterpiece like “The Scream”.
Not to forget, Sami culture, the indigenous people who inhabit the northern parts of Norway, with their unique language, traditional clothing, and reindeer-herding activities, are an integral part of Norway’s rich cultural tapestry. They are known for their fascinating joik singing style.
All in all, Norwegian culture is a mix of age-old tradition, respect and appreciation for nature, equality, simplicity, and quiet pride.
