I did come into this as both a healthcare worker and with a passion for medical history, but as long as you're willing to do a bit of reading (or time your stop for a tour) I think this museum would touch any visitor regardless of background. The idea of a leprosy institution is so removed from our modern life it's stunning to imagine sleeping three to a room or being isolated from your family for the rest of your life. But this museum presents it beautifully, telling you the stories of the residents as you walk through the hospital, of the discovery of the disease and of the ethics around the eradication of it in Norway in a way that still matters even with our improved medical science. The staff were very informative, friendly, and passionate, they were fantastic to talk to. And the grounds themselves were lovely and peaceful to walk in, and has the oldest wooden church in bergen (put on the provided shoe covers before walking in!). The herb garden was intriguing though lacking in info as I wish there was better documentation on what the herbs were being used for. The section on Hansen and Kari was genuinely beautifully presented, and I loved the film with voices of people today talking about chronic illness and leprosy and the stigma around illnesses, whether it's from fear of infection or some idea of it being a punishment. Wonderful museum, very unique and definitely worth seeing while in bergen.

Great museum. Had some reservations before attending but the guided tour by Ragnfrid was first class. Very informative. Also, her colleague, Una, was great also. 2 young kids doing a great job. Highly recommend.
