 The Natural History Museum by FletteMette Bergen Museum is part of the University of Bergen, and has two separate departments - The Natural History Collections and The Cultural History Collections. The Museum is located in two buildings from 1865 and 1927 - and surrounded by a beautiful botanical garden. The rather old-fashioned Natural History museum focuses (naturally..;-) on geology, zoology and botany - one of the most popular displays contains massive whale skeletons hanging from the ceiling. The Cultural History department does of course have a Viking Age exhibition, as well as displays of other archaeological and ethnographical material from Norway and abroad. Entrance fee: NOK 40 Senior citizens: NOK 20 Children / students free Free with the Bergen Card Opening Hours: 01.09.-31.05: Tue-Fri 10-14, Sat-Sun 11-15 01.06.-31.08: Tue-Fri 10-16, Sat-Sun 11-16 Mondays closed.

 the Midgard Rune by daarth Many visitors come to Norway expecting to see a lot about Vikings everywhere. They then are surprised that Norwegians have not made a tourist industry out of this. You will of course find a few Viking souvenirs at the souvenir shop. But the Viking age is just one part of the Norwegian culture. The Vikings were those that travelled to other countries to conquere and explore. Those that didn't go were simply not called Vikings. The word Viking is also a verb and loosely means conqueror. If you are interested in the historical part of the Vikings, you will find a Viking exhibition at The Cultural History Collections (museum) For more info on Vikings, use the link below.

 The burning of witches. by daarth A dark side of Bergen's history is the burning of witches. This stone is in memory of the public murders of 350 victims in the years from 1500-1750. If I am not mistaken, this is the only instance in the world were a government has made an official apology for the witch-hunt. Leave a Comment Directions: Near the aquarium on the tip of Nordnes
