History and natural science museums Norway

Oslo's Natural History Museum is the most comprehensive in the country. Animal, plant and mineral specimens have been studied here for over 200 years. The Zoogeographic Hall shows animals in their natural habitats around the world. The Norwegian Hall takes us from the oceans to the country's highest mountains. The Systematic Hall traces Norwegian vertebrates, and finally, the last hall hosts temporary exhibitions.

The Svalbard Museum is a museum of natural and cultural history. Of educational interest, its purpose is to present the Arctic, as well as to highlight its history, beauty and the environmental problems that it faces today. The museum therefore presents several themes, from the discovery of the territory to its mining, until the arrival of current tourism. In 2008, the Svalbard Museum received the prize of the Council of Europe Museum for the best European museum. You are strongly recommended!

Opened in 1828, the Agder Museum is the only natural history museum in the region. It is also one of the oldest in the country. It includes a botanical garden, permanent exhibitions ("The Ice Age", "Minerals", "From the Sea to the Earth", etc.) and temporary exhibitions. It's always a pleasure to walk around in this kind of place, learning a bit about the local plants and animals. If your steps take you there in spring, don't miss this visit!
