Stein School is a unique and colourful school adorned by well-known Norwegian artists such as Reidar Aulie, Dagfinn Werenskiold, Henrik Sørensen and many more. In the 1930s, they transformed the school’s interior into an imaginative and colourful frame for teaching.
Headmaster Erling Elverhøy and Ingeborg Refling Hagen were the driving forces behind the works of art, words and poems decorating walls, doors, staircases and other surfaces. The school was in regular use from 1912 to 1972, and goes by the name "The Fairytale School".
Next to Stein School is the "old school" from 1852, which was in use until 1912.
The schooll is onlyt open during the summertime.

The glassworks has existed for over 120 years, and still produces all its products by hand. Here you can find works by a number of designers and artisans, experience concerts, visit the factory outlet and blow your own glass.
Magnor Glassworks was founded as early as 1896 in the deep border forests on the Norwegian side, Magnor, just 3 km from the Swedish border (and 12 miles from Oslo). The large forests were to provide fuel for the heat-sucking smelting furnaces. Several generations of skilled designers and glass workers have shaped Magnor Glassverk's history. More than 120 years of tradition and experience in handmade glass have come in handy and provided valuable knowledge and experience.
Development does not stand still even as the years pass, but much remains the same when molten sand is magically transformed into sparkling glass.
