On 23 May 1906, Ibsen died in his home at Arbins gade 1 in [[Oslo|Kristiania]] (now Oslo)<ref>since 2006 [[The Ibsen Museum (Oslo)]]</ref> after a series of strokes in March 1900. When, on 22 May, his nurse assured a visitor that he was a little better, Ibsen spluttered his last words "On the contrary" ("Tvertimod!"). He died the following day at 2:30&nbsp;pm.<ref>Michael Meyer, ''Ibsen – A Biography'', Doubleday 1971, p. 807</ref> Ibsen was buried in [[Vår Frelsers gravlund]] ("The Graveyard of Our Savior") in central Oslo.

[[Ivo de Figueiredo]] argues that "today, Ibsen belongs to the world. But it is impossible to understand [Ibsen's] path out there without knowing the Danish cultural sphere from which he sprang, from which he liberated himself and which he ended up shaping. Ibsen developed as a person and artist in a dialogue with Danish theater and literature that was anything but smooth."<ref>{{cite book |last1=Figueiredo |first1=Ivo de |title=Henrik Ibsen: Mennesket og masken |date=2019 |publisher=Rosinante & Co |isbn=9788763861830}}</ref> On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Ibsen's death in 2006, the Norwegian government organised the [[Ibsen Year]], which included celebrations around the world. The [[NRK]] produced a miniseries on Ibsen's childhood and youth in 2006, ''[[An Immortal Man]]''. Several prizes are awarded in his name, among them the [[International Ibsen Award]], the [[Norwegian Ibsen Award]], and the [[Ibsen Centennial Commemoration Award]].

Distinguished Ibsen translator and critic [[Rolf Fjelde]], Professor of Literature at [[Pratt Institute]] and the chief organizer of the Symposium, was elected Founding President. In December 1979, the ISA was certified as a non-profit corporation under the laws of the State of New York. Its purpose is to foster through lectures, readings, performances, conferences, and publications an understanding of Ibsen's works as they are interpreted as texts and produced on stage and in film and other media. An annual newsletter, ''Ibsen News and Comment,'' is distributed to all members.<ref name="Schanke">{{cite book|last1=Schanke|first1=Robert A.|title=Ibsen in America: A Century of Change|date=1988|publisher=Scarecrow Press|isbn=978-0810820999|page=157|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eoOL_Uufu94C&pg=PA157|access-date=28 January 2018}}</ref>
