The first International Instrument Makers’ Seminar in Norway was inaugurated in May 1993. At the same time, the Nordic Chamber Hall was opened, hosting the first exhibition of instruments from the museum collection of TVD. The opening ceremony was conducted by Dr. Winfried Schrammek, Director of the Musical Instrument Museum at the University of Leipzig.
