National Fortifications Heritage

The National Fortifications Heritage presents exhibitions of Norwegian military equipment, weapons, and defense structures from medieval times through modern history.

Founded in 1992, this institution preserves and manages significant fortifications across Norway, including medieval castles and coastal defense installations.

The museum holds regular exhibitions about Norwegian military traditions, featuring uniforms, medals, and photographs that document national defense evolution.

Located in central Oslo, the museum charges 100 NOK for adults and 40 NOK for children, with free entry included in the Oslo Pass.

The museum coordinates traditional royal gun salutes at specific fortresses, firing 21 shots at five-second intervals during national celebrations.
