Norwegian Petroleum Museum, Industry museum in Stavanger, Norway.
The Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger documents the story of oil and gas extraction in the North Sea. Its exhibitions show drilling techniques, production methods, and subsea technology through models, videos, and interactive displays.
Oil discoveries in the North Sea began in the 1960s and led to major economic changes in Norway. The museum opened in 1999 to document this development and the evolution of modern subsea technology.
The museum shows how oil and gas changed Norwegian society and continue to shape life here today. Visitors see the role these resources play in the modern economy and how they affect people's daily lives.
The museum is easy to reach and has broad access for visitors of all abilities. Allow plenty of time for a comfortable visit, especially if you want to explore the interactive areas.
Children can slide down a rescue chute, experience an emergency simulation room, and climb platforms that recreate offshore operations. These hands-on activities help young visitors understand the challenges of oil and gas work directly.
