Norwegian Petroleum Museum
The
Norsk Olje Museum - or Stavanger Oil Museum - is very popular, and rightly
so, with a great breadth of information on the oil industry offshore Norway.
It also manages to make it fascinating and fun for kids too - not an easy
act to pull off. |

You
will find many stands of information, but also a "helicopter"
transition to life offshore, showing living conditions, the drill deck,
and much more, including escape netting for children to topple down. There are often special exhibitions (on dinosaurs, recently). There is a shop and Bølgen & Moi has a restaurant in the building If you are an interested layman you will find this museum can keep you busy for hours. If you know the industry you may be disappointed at the lack of detail displayed on parts of the business - two Norwegian companies led the world in seismic exploration (the stage before the rigs) but you won't find much about it here. ONS - Offshore Northern Seas is an oil industry conference and exhibition held every 2 years in Stavanger. See our reviews of 2006 here By car / bus / train: This is in central Stavanger, beside the sea at Kjeringholmen, between Vågen the main harbour and the fast boat terminal Parking: There is some parking at the museum, or at one of the other nearby carparks Distance from Stavanger: 0 km |

Travel time from Stavanger:
Duration of the visit: Anything from an hour or so to most of the day Facilities: Carpark Toilets Shop Restaurant Kids verdict: Initial suspicion at the word "museum" quickly evaporates - with things to move and lift, climb or fall down, blacked-out rooms, dinosaurs - and even places to sit and colour in, this place is great See also: Norwegian Canning (Hermetikk) Museum other Stavanger museums Sandnes (Jaeren) Museum Kvia Stavanger Hotels Stavanger Restaurants Trips out in Stavanger |
