Old Bergen Museum

In the 1800s Bergen was Europe’s biggest wooden city, a distinctive city environment with closely spaced wooden buildings, busy streets, markets and alleys. How did it look? What did people talk about?

In Old Bergen, the whole family can experience life in the “old days”. Here you can stroll and look in the houses, feed the birds, climb the trees and, not least, visit the Civil Servant´s family in 1826 and the Merchant’s family in 1886. On the square, short plays are played throughout the day, and in between it all the children can join in the fun and games. Tickets, gifts, card, ice cream and soft drinks are sold in the museumshop.

A walk in the park offers peace and quiet. The museum area is accessible all year round.

21. May – 14. September
Daily 10:00 – 16:00
