A Brief History of the Norwegian Bunad

And I do mean very brief. I don't even get into the bizarre creation that is "Nationalen", or the chaos that happened mid-20th century. Nevertheless, I do hope you enjoy this little introduction. Especially (perhaps?) all the pretty pictures, because word knows, there are so many gorgeous bunads in Norway, I could only fit in a small fraction! I may or may not have some Thoughts™ on this topic.
