Très agréable visite pour qui veut connaître l'histoire du vieux Bergen et des incendies successifs qui ont détruit cette partie de la ville. Belle plongée dans l'histoire.

Fantastic museum for looking at the local history of Bergen, and the daily life of the medieval people of Bergen. It covers its focus very well, and the exhibition of ragna Breivik's work was very well presented. Has great interactive little bits (not just for kids haha) and I love the way it presents the outline of the buildings and the feeling of going back in time and you go down imdepper below the museum. The way it displays the trade route and the interconnectedness of the medieval world through artifacts and maps was very interesting and all very well presented. I loved the rune sticks too, very fun to read their translations. Staff were very kind and helpful and the gift shop had a fun variety!
