Maritime Museum, Maritime museum in Bergen, Norway
The Maritime Museum is located in Bergen, Norway, and focuses on the history of seafaring. It displays scale models of ships, archaeological finds, paintings of sailing vessels, and everyday objects that document Norwegian maritime practices and traditions.
The museum documents Bergen's maritime development from Viking times through its establishment as a major trading port in the Hanseatic League. The collection shows how the city grew and was shaped by its connection to the sea and international commerce.
The exhibits show how Norwegian seafarers moved goods across the world and kept Bergen as an important maritime hub for centuries. The objects and vessels on display reveal how life and work at sea shaped the city and its people.
The museum is located in central Bergen and is easy to reach on foot. The exhibits are spread across several levels, so it is helpful to plan enough time for a visit.
A special exhibition features a documentary film about the discovery of a Viking ship in Western Norway with English subtitles. The film offers a rare look at Viking burial practices and how archaeologists excavate such finds.
