Hanseatic Museum and Schøtstuene

The Hanseatic Museum displays original artifacts and merchant quarters within a preserved wooden building at Bergen's UNESCO World Heritage waterfront.

German merchants established their trading post at Bryggen around 1360, operating for four centuries and turning Bergen into a major European commercial center.

The Schøtstuene assembly rooms served as gathering spaces where German merchants conducted meetings and shared meals according to their traditions.

Museum Vest operates guided tours in English every weekend throughout the year, with daily tours and multiple languages available during summer months.

Medieval ruins discovered beneath the museum floor date from 1280, connecting visitors directly to the foundations of Bergen's commercial heritage.
