Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum

The Norwegian Industrial Workers Museum occupies the former Vemork power station, presenting exhibits about hydropower generation and electrochemical manufacturing processes.

The museum building gained international recognition during World War II as the site of heavy water production, which became the target of Allied sabotage operations.

The facility maintains over 30,000 digitized photographs documenting the transformation of Norwegian industrial society and workers' experiences since 1907.

The museum functions as an educational center with guided tours, offering visitors detailed insights into Norway's industrial development and technological advancements.

The museum serves as an anchor point on the European Route of Industrial Heritage, connecting to the preserved Rjukanbanen railway system.
