Norway's museums tell of Viking ships, polar explorers and The Scream – set between fjords, mountains and the northern lights.
Oslo opens onto its fjord, and so do its museums: MUNCH holds the largest collection of Edvard Munch's work, and the National Museum gathers Norway's art, design and crafts under one roof. A short boat ride takes you to the Bygdøy peninsula, where the polar ship Fram, the raft Kon-Tiki and a stave church from the Middle Ages stand in museums side by side, and where the great Viking Age collections belong. Bergen has the wooden wharf of Bryggen from the Hanseatic league and the KODE art museums; Stavanger tells the story of Norway's oil; Trondheim has Nidaros Cathedral; and far north, Tromsø and the Lofoten Islands show the Arctic, the Sámi and the fishermen. Distances are long and landscapes slow you down – plan one region at a time. This museumtickets.com guide follows Norway from rock art to oil, county by county.
From the rock carvings of Alta to the oil platforms of the North Sea.
In Alta, people carved reindeer, boats and hunters into the rock over thousands of years – one of the largest groups of rock art in northern Europe.
