Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 123 reviews
Here you will find the ruins of the medieval cathedral and the bishop's residence from the 13th Century on the beautiful Museum grounds on the outskirts of Hamar. The museum is comprised of archaeological exhibitions, a botanical garden and an outdoor museum with about 60 buildings from around Hedemarken County. The cathedral ruins are protected by a much-discussed protective structure in glass and steel, called the Hamar Dome, which is an attraction in itself. Open every day in summer season. Groups all year when booked in forehand.

The museum is located about 40 minutes walk along the coast from downtown. A very nice walk but a little slippery when we were there in Feb. There is a frequent bus service to/from the main entrance. A lot of the exhibits were not available in the off season only the main hall was open that houses some interesting rolling stock including steam and electric traction as well as some good displays. Outside are a collection of old station buildings and a signal box. In the summer there are a couple of train rides to be had. The staff were helpful but in the hour that we were there we were the only visitors.
