What to expect

Bryggens Museum is a great place for families to learn about the history of Bergen and its medieval past. The museum's main exhibit uses thousands of artifacts and modern historical and archaeological research to let visitors come closer to the everyday lives of the medieval people of Bergen and Western Norway. The exhibit includes runic inscriptions, ceramics from Europe and the Middle-East, and the unique Guddal-garment, a nearly thousand-year-old find. The museum is built over the remains of Bergen's oldest buildings from the first half of the 1100s, and these architectural remains are still an important part of the museum's permanent exhibition. The museum also offers a drawing competition, puzzle, and treasure hunt in the exhibition, making it a fun and interactive experience for children
