Preus Museum

The Preus Museum exhibits an extensive collection of photographic equipment, images, and historical artifacts within a renovated naval facility at Karljohansvern.

The institution began as a private collection by Leif Preus and family members in 1976, before the Norwegian government acquired it in 1995.

The museum maintains two exhibition galleries, showcasing both early technical experiments and contemporary photographic artworks from national and international creators.

Museum admission costs 100 NOK for adults, 70 NOK for students and seniors, while children under 18 enter without charge.

The museum building originally served as a grain storage facility for the Royal Norwegian Navy during the 1860s before its transformation by architect Sverre Fehn.
