Join this unique tour of the Karen Blixen Museum. Learn about the historic home of Rungstedlund and things beyond what you can learn from books, when one of the museum’s experts shares their knowledge of the world-renowned authorship, the person behind the stories, and much more.

Karen Blixen, or Isak Dinesen, is an iconic persona and master of storytelling but her name is also linked to a brutal and bloody military occupation in Kenya under British colonial rule. For Blixen personally, her 17 years in British East Africa were marked by deep reflection, a sense of freedom and insufferable tragedy. When she returns to Rungstedlund, she is seriously ill, financially ruined, and severely depressed. This becomes the ground for her authorship.

Sofie Vega Stougaard-Johansen holds a masters in English from the University of Copenhagen. She is specialized in postcolonial theory and literature.
