The largest collection of items from pre-historic times and the Middle Ages found in Norway.
What did the people of the past think, believe and know? How did they arrange their lives, their belongings and their knowledge? At the Historical Museum you can experience some of the most exquisite objects from the Norwegian Viking Age, such as ornate swords, gold jewellery and a very rare Viking helmet. See an extensive collection of religious artefacts from the Middle Ages. Learn about the people during the Norwegian Stone Age, explore the Egyptian mummies and gain insight into diverse cultures from across the world through our ethnographic exhibitions. The Historical museum is a prime example of Art Nouveau architecture, and the rich embellishments have a unique mix of Norwegian and international elements.
