Norwegian Maritime Museum

This museum was a pleasant surprise! It has a very distinct, modern vibe compared to the other museums nearby. The exhibits are beautifully curated, featuring everything from intricate models of cruise liners to open workshops showing traditional boat building. The atmosphere is very relaxing, and the interior design is top-notch—from the graphic art on the walls to the way the boats are suspended and lit. It feels less crowded and more contemporary. Highly recommended for a change of pace!

Another very cool museum; we almost skipped it but I'm glad we didn't. There are some old ship interiors you can explore the inside of, some really cool models & stories of Norwegian seafarers. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would.

Enjoyed the overall experience, but I wish the exhibits were more hand on and interactive than just looking at some model boats. For example, there was an interactive informative game in a section which had multiple people waiting to play, if they had more, then it would be more fun. Also, the museum is very big, and since we had a limited amount of time, it was even more disappointing we didn’t have any fun. Overall sort of underwhelming experience, but if you are looking for a museum to spend your whole day at, then this is it,

Fascinating museum. Really interesting and diverse and the inclusion of modern age as well as historic. Lots of young school age kids in who were getting alot out of the visit too. . Loved the boat building

The museum offers a fascinating look of Norway’s seafaring history, with massive ships, and authentic artifacts. It’s a must-visit place for maritime fans.

We visited this museum along with the Kon-Tiki museum. Seeing all the different boats was fascinating. My favourite part was the replica of inside a ship. We also visited the gift shop, where I found a book about Sámi people. The cafe also had a nice selection of food and drinks.

Very good collection of information, content and props to explain the maritime history of Norway.

Disappointment! For a nation with such a tradition in navigation, I was expecting something completely different. The only things are the building itself, which has a special architecture and the section dedicated to children. Otherwise, nothing, a small and dull museum. Few exhibits, some information in text or image format (drawings) and that's it. There is also a library but it is not an attraction for a visitor from abroad. There is also an OK cafe, where you can have a not very complex snack and have a drink. The outdoor terrace has a very beautiful view. One hour is enough to visit it.
