Allmannajuvet

The Allmannajuvet site features wooden structures designed by architect Peter Zumthor, with black pavilions positioned along the steep canyon walls.

From 1881 to 1899, the zinc mine employed 160 workers and contributed substantially to Norway's mineral exports before closing due to market prices.

The museum exhibits display original mining tools, documents, and photographs that tell the story of the miners who worked in harsh conditions.

Located along County Road 520, the site includes a museum, cafe, and parking area, operating from June to August with group bookings available year-round.

The buildings were prefabricated eight miles away and feature zinc roofs, black jute burlap exteriors, and specialized German acrylic material finishes.
