Norsk Oljemuseum

The Norwegian Petroleum Museum is a museum documenting Norwegian oil and gas activities, located in Stavanger, Norway. The museum was designed by the architectural firm of Lunde & Løvseth Arkitekter A/S and was opened on 20 May 1999. Seen from the sea, the museum looks like a small oil platform, making it a landmark in the Port of Stavanger. The museum focuses on offshore petroleum activity, especially in the North Sea, and displays objects, films, photographs, and other materials that document Norwegian oil and gas activities. The museum shows the technological development from the beginning of the Norwegian oil history in the mid-1960s to modern, flexible production ships and subsea systems. The museum offers various exhibits, including a Gullfaks display and a Treasure Saga display, as well as an oil well Christmas tree. Families can enjoy the museum's interactive exhibits and learn about the history of oil and gas in Norway
