Norwegian Petroleum Museum

Very informative, interesting and interactive. This museum wasn't top of my list when I first came to Stavanger but I really enjoyed it and I'd recommend going. The history was fascinating and there were a lot of interactive elements.

This museum employed technology to make it more interactive for visitors. The architecture is well done and so are the exhibitions. Although the oil narrative on the wall is comprehensive, it is very dense and it is difficult to follow if there’s a lot of people trying to read it and perhaps the information could be broken up a bit. There’s great activities for children and their version of the story is well illustrated and fun to follow.

Intriguing museum about an important part of Norwegian history. It features interactive exhibits that are in both Norwegian and English. I recommend the vertical movie located at the end of the tour of the model oil platform. Was really interesting to see how the oil and gas were pulled up in a vertical, immersive way.

Interesting visit included on our Viking tour. We had to detour here because of bad weather going to the shetlands, so we did a walking tour of the city which was interesting as well as visiting the museum. Be advised, though, there are many hills and slopes, so if you have a problem with walking, you may not want to do the tour.

Must visit when you are in Stavanger. It gives a great insight in the history of Norwegian petrol industry which has made the foundation of a Norwegian welfare state. Also a good historical exposition of Stavanger city and interactive games. Interesting both for the kids and grownups.

Nice small museum giving a lot of knowledge about petroleum business. I really loved all the showpieces and models explainig how crude oil od extracted from the sea bed.

A lot of information and entertainment about Norvegian oil extraction. Was there with family and everyone really enjoyed it. Reccommend visiting!

Amazing place with engaging history of North Sea exploration and oil/gas industry in Norway. Immersive displays and scaled down rig experience.
