Facts and practical information

The Bergen Maritime Museum was founded on April 13, 1921 and had an official opening on February 18, 1927. In 1962, the museum moved into its own building designed by architect Per Grieg. It has a monumental Romanesque style with powerful stone walls. The showrooms are built around an inner atrium with glass walls that help make them light and pleasant. The exhibitions cover the entire maritime history from the oldest times to our time. Here are several unique objects and a comprehensive collection of models of well -known vessels. The museum is also used as a banquet room.

Per Kristian Sebak took over the position of director at the Bergen Maritime Museum after Tore L. Nilsen from 1 January 2015.
