Our mission is to uncover the secret life of Oskar J. W. Hansen—the “Sculptor of Liberty

Oskar’s fascinating and complex—but never before told—life story includes hundreds of missing masterpieces, lost Viking treasures, global exploration, connections to 9 U.S. Presidents, alien conspiracies, broken families, secret royal bloodlines, astrophysical discoveries, and a Holy Grail quest.

Over the last few years, our research has reunited lost family members, unearthed new mysteries, and begun to solve some of the mythology Oskar built about his amazing story.
