The 14 Best Things to Do in Bergen, Norway (Updated 2025)

"I spent an afternoon learning about Bergen's 2,000-year maritime history at this striking stone-and-glass museum (founded in 1914), where exhibitions include full-size ships, paintings, films, artifacts, original maps, and 18th-century cannons; highlights are the Kvalsund boat, an 8th-century Viking longship excavated in 1920, and the Halsnøy boat dating from roughly 390–535 CE, and admission is 150 NOK with guided English tours in summer—Haakon Sheteligs plass 15." - Matthew Kepnes

Museum about maritime, particularly boat models & boat history (primarily Norwegian boats/ships). There are also sections that describe life as a sailor, ship salvages, and a 'funny' history of England attacking Dutch merchant boats in Bergen harbour. They have a cinema too which played history about Viking ship and burial when I visited. It's a small-medium museum, takes about 1 hour if you like boats, <1 hour if you don't like boats. This museum is all about boat models and replicas. They have locker service free of charge.

It was small, clean, and a decent history of the fishing industry. The 2nd floor is mostly models of ships across the ages. My husband liked it, I was bored.

The Museum was pretty amazing and I learned so much about the ships during the centuries + how important was Bergen as a port for trading goods within whole world🩵

For a thorough look, you should count two hours for this interesting museum. The entry ticket is a bit expensive (150 kr for adult). The exhibition is arranged in chronological order, and contains a lot of beautifully detailed ship models. The staff are very nice.

Educational, well laid out, and I learned a lot from the interpretation cards in the displays. Also they have used reference books on lots of topics for sale in the gift shop.

The museum covers the maritime history of Norway dating from BC 7500 to modern-day shipping and the importance of Bergen in global shipping. The museum is well laid out in a linear history. There is a short movie on Viking ship/burials highlighting several archeological sites. All displays are in Norwegian and English. Up to 2 hours or more if you love to dive in and read everything.
