The villa, with plastered brick in the English neo-Gothic style, was built in 1859 for the widowed lady Grethe Juul. The widowed lady's villa was often a meeting place for the city's society and famous artists. After three years, the villa was transferred to the widowed lady's son-in-law, the poet Andreas Munch. The cultural atmosphere was maintained as a gathering place for the great artists of the time; Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson, Camilla Collett, Magdalena(Submitted on July 9, 2025.)Thoresen, Kjerulf and Grieg.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, June 23, 20252. Hus For Musikklærerne / House for Music Teachers and Marker
In 1872, the house was sold to Handelsfulmæktig Thorvald Hurum. Hurum's son Alf, a composer, pianist and painter, later took over the house. Alf Hurum is considered the first artist to bring Impressionism to Norway. Several of Hurum's Impressionist works were composed at Josefines gate 15, with a natural touch of the cultural atmosphere of the house. In 1972, the artist bequeathed his childhood home to the Oslo Music Teachers' Association, an association founded in 1905, today Musikkpedagogene Oslo.
