Plan your visit

Here you can enjoy a full day, or visit again and again.

The museum tells stories about the nature around us, about childhood, and about Stavanger.

You can experience nature, for example, in the exhibition Our Nature?

The childhood story meets you in the exhibitions in first floor. 

If you want to climb and play, find the Castle. 

The exhibition My Stavanger takes you on a time journey through 900 years of Stavanger’s history.
