Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology

The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology is an institution in Oslo where visitors engage with interactive displays across multiple galleries. The space houses collections dedicated to industry, natural science, and medicine, featuring hands-on sections and creative workshops for building and experimenting.

The museum moved to its current location near Kjelsås in 1986 and became Norway's national institution for documenting industry and technological history. Its collections gather photographs, documents, and artifacts that trace the country's technical and economic transformations.

The museum shows how industry and science have shaped the lives of ordinary Norwegians over time. The exhibitions document crafts and inventions that people developed and used across different periods.

Plan time for both browsing and trying hands-on exhibits, as moving between galleries and interactive stations takes longer than typical museum walking. Comfortable shoes help since you may spend several hours exploring different sections and workshop areas.

The institution runs a dedicated science center where visitors conduct their own physics experiments rather than simply observing displays. This hands-on section allows people to test principles directly and understand how things work through trial and practice.
