The culture in Norway is very diverse. Its roots come from the Viking age. Currently the Norwegian government helps out preserve the collections of folk art and music and other cultural traditions. Schools want to keep teaching their students about the Norwegian history of folk culture and basic traditions. Some of Norway’s most famous traditions are woodcarving, ornamental painting, and tapestry. Norway Festivals were established in 1997 and continue to be a tradition until this day. One of the biggest festivals of the year is the MOLDE International Jazz Festival with more than 400 performers many of them being world famous music performers. The festival takes place in July and its open for the public to go and be a part of this wonderful event.
