MARINE MUSEUM (SJØFARTSMUSEUM)

The Musée de la Marine is housed in a former prison built in 1725. In use until 1835, it was once known as the slave prison. The legendary Gjest Baardson, the Norwegian Robin Hood, was put in irons here. The museum houses a small collection of sailing ships, some beautiful figureheads and navigational instruments. The museum shop offers beautiful illustrated books, games and small items.
