The Norwegian Glacier Museum

The Norwegian Glacier Museum presents exhibits about glaciers and climate through interactive displays, photographs, and models in a concrete building near mountains.

The museum opened its doors in 1991 when Queen Sonja inaugurated the facility, which stands on land shaped by the Jostedal Glacier.

Norwegian architect Sverre Fehn incorporated sharp angles and gray concrete in the design to reflect the surrounding mountain landscape of Fjaerland.

Visitors can access exhibitions in 13 languages and explore the facility from June to August between 9:00 and 19:00, or September to May from 10:00 to 16:00.

The museum allows guests to conduct experiments with thousand-year-old ice extracted from the nearby Supphellebreen glacier.

Opening Hours: June-August Monday-Sunday 09:00-19:00; September-May Monday-Sunday 10:00-16:00
