Moss is one of Norway’s oldest and most versatile industrial centres. Møllebyen ("The Mill City"), which is located by Mossefossen waterfall, was the focal point of the city’s first industrial epoch and held this status until approximately 1970. Here, Moss Town and Industrial Museum has permanent exhibitions focusing on the milling, water, and paper industry.
