Cool museum on Norwegian popular music, as well as a few alternative genres. It's kinda small. The highlight of the museum is the section where you can try out real instruments. Many written sections inside the museum are translated to English, but not all.

Lovely little museum about pop music. Great to discover new artists! It's also really fun to record your own version of a list of songs, remix it, and design a new cover for it. Afterwards you can download it to your own device. Was quite fun!

Mye morsomt og interessant om norsk musikkhistorie. Navnet kan være litt misvisende, ettersom dette ikke bare handler om pop som i sjangeren, men om populærmusikk generelt. Så rock, metal og jazz er også inkludert. Noe som er bra.
