This museum was established to house objects, films, photographs and other materials documenting Norway’s petroleum sector which has had an enormous impact on the country. It contains a mixture of permanent and temporary exhibits, including hands-on experience of the early offshore work experience.

Next to the museum lies the Geopark, an experimental and unconventional urban space which tests new ways of recycling ideas, materials and objects from the petroleum industry which provides an very popular environment for kids of all ages.
