Wilhelm Adelsten Maribo

His Jewish father converted to Christianity and moved from Copenhagen to Norway in 1804 as the secretary for Bernt Anker.

Together with Frederik Ludvig Vibe, he played a significant role in establishing the Sculpture Museum in Christiania, which was completed in Tullinløkka in 1881.

Additionally, Maribo served as a director (board member) of the Christiania Savings Bank from 1859.

In 1843, Maribo married his cousin, women's rights pioneer Hedvig Maribo (née Hedwig Theresia Francisca Sonnleithner; 1814–1891), daughter of Austrian lawyer, government advisor, librettist, and theater director Joseph Sonnleithner (1766–1835) and Wilhelmine Mariboe.

Maribo had no children and bequeathed his estate to the Royal Norwegian Society for Development and various charitable funds.
