Please scroll down to request video link.

Speaker: Laurann Gilbertson, Vesterheim Chief Curator

Program Description: For centuries, Norwegians have treasured the beauty of silver. Silver showed the prosperity of a family, and, according to folk belief, could cure sickness in humans and livestock, improve crops, and protect against storms and evil spirits. Brooches were more than simple shirt fasteners. This program describes different styles of silver brooches, jewelry, and the beliefs surrounding this powerful metal.
