This place is temporarily closed We much regret that, owing to major construction work, the museum will be closed from closing time Sunday 18th. August until c. October 2020. We will respond to emails and other Communications.
A canning museum would not normally be our family's first choice for fun things to do on a vacation; however, this place had excellent reviews and almost everyone said the same thing: surprisingly enjoyable. And it was!!! My husband and I enjoyed learning the history of the canning factory, but our kids LOVED this place! They loved seeing all the machines and learning how they worked, they loved the arts and crafts station upstairs, but they especially loved practicing canning with the rubber fish! And they decided to spend their own money to buy rubber fish and cans to bring home as souvenirs. We visited almost a year ago, and the canning museum is still remembered as a highlight of our trip (and the souvenirs are still played with regularly, too!) Thank you! :)

Climb on board our Viking ship and join the adventure as we travel back in time and experience, with the use of VR-technology and video imagery, the magical world of The Vikings. Hear and experience the great sagas about ' Harald Fairhair ', Norway's first king and the famous battle of Hafrsfjord in 872 where Norway became united into one kingdom.
A great half an hour experience well worth the price. Having recently visited the Viking ship museum in Oslo, it was great to be immersed in the Viking world and see the ships in virtual reality. It left us wanting to find out more. The staff were lovely and really made the whole experience delightful. Thank you to them for a great time!

Depicts the development of shipping, commerce and shipbuilding over the last 200 years. Sail loft, shipping company office, general store and merchant's apartment. Acitivity exhibition for children. Stavanger Maritime Museum also owns the historical vessels Anna af Sand and Wyvern, operated by volunteer crews.
I visited this most interesting attraction whilst on shore in Stavanger A most impressive tour it was due in most part to my conversation with Mrs Cooper,the day who runs the museum Her knowledge and enthusiasm for her subject was most enjoyable Would highly recommend anybody to visit
