Norwegian Petroleum Museum

The Norwegian Petroleum Museum presents exhibits about oil and gas formation, drilling techniques, and production methods through models, films, and interactive displays.

The museum, established in 1999, documents Norway's petroleum journey from initial North Sea explorations in the 1960s to modern subsea technology developments.

Through exhibitions and educational programs, the museum illustrates how petroleum resources transformed Norwegian society and shaped the nation's economic growth.

The museum operates from 10:00 to 19:00 during summer months and maintains different hours in winter, with admission prices ranging from 60 to 180 NOK.

Children can experience hands-on activities including a rescue chute, emergency simulation room, and climbing platforms that demonstrate offshore operations.
