Top Museums in Stavanger

Stavanger’s museums document the city’s transition from a maritime and canning center to a global petroleum hub. The Norwegian Petroleum Museum showcases offshore technology, while the Canning Museum occupies a preserved sardine factory. Cultural history is explored through the 19th-century Stavanger Museum and the Museum of Archaeology’s regional artifacts. The collection also includes Breidablikk, an 1881 shipowner’s mansion, the Maritime Museum’s harbor-side warehouses, and the Norwegian Children’s Museum’s extensive toy collection.
