ADA: MELA'S ANNIVERSARY COSTUME

– When a gathering of people turns into a festive costume

Mela means a gathering/meeting place. A place where people, stories, and cultures meet. With this as inspiration, Ada has created a commemorative collection for the Oslo Mela 25th anniversary. Through a women’s, men’s, and children’s festive costume, the collection draws inspiration from costume and textile traditions from various corners of the world, weaving them together into a new Norwegian expression – a tribute to the diversity that unites Norway today.

Welcome to Ada’s universe. A meeting place for the whole family. Experience the anniversary collection, explore the exhibition, and let the little ones join in for a reading of "Anna and the Magical Ada Festive Costume." Here, you are invited to explore cultural heritage, identity, and belonging – and perhaps discover new threads that bind us together.
