Lars Magnus Moen

Lars Magnus Moen (29 November 1885 – 22 April 1964) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party who served as Minister of Education and Church Affairs from 1948 to 1953.

After primary and secondary school, Lars traveled to Lillehammer to attend tailoring.

It was probably here that he first met the young workers' movement who had come here in connection with the development of the railway.

As minister, he earned a lot of respect, which was gained from his actions of establishing central cultural institutions, such as Riksteatret and Norsk Bygdekino, and his proposal for ninth grade schooling.

He resigned as minister after suffering a stroke in 1953, but he remained active in parliament until the end of the 1953–1957 term.
