The landscape around us, past and present, affects how we live our lives. At the same time, the presence of people helps shape the landscape in which we reside. Some of the traces we leave are lost. Others create lasting changes.
 
Landscape and people is an exhibition about the Steinkjer landscape and the people who lived here during the Bronze and Iron Ages. We have interpreted the human presence within the landscape’s own history and collected archaeological finds from the local area. Pieced together, this becomes a series of stories about everyday life, rituals, social structures and power struggles across three millennia.
