The Storedal Culture Centre in Skjeberg, Sarpsborg, is quite unique. Although open to all, it was designed to provide a stimulating experience for visually impaired visitors by engaging all the senses, not just sight. The centerpiece, the 19.5m high metal sound sculpture ‘Ode to Light’, which was designed by artist Arnold Haukeland and represents arms reaching out towards the sky, comes to life through 28 loudspeakers connected to light receptacles. The more light, the more complex the music, and vice versa – in other words, avoid visiting on a really dark winter day, as the sculpture will be almost completely quiet. The complex also has an outdoors amphitheatre and a herb garden featuring over 250 different plant species, which you can touch and smell, as well as replicas of the rock carvings along nearby Oldtidsveien, with descriptions and explanations in Braille.
