Main exhibition
During the last 2.5 million years Earth has experienced over 40 ice ages interrupted by interglacial periods. We are currently going through an interglacial period. Our main exhibition "From the Ice Age to the Present" takes you from the previous interglacial period to today. You will observe Norwegian animals in lifelike surroundings, and minerals and rocks associated with the different periods. This exhibition is unfortunately only presented in Norwegian.
Nature and Climate change
This year we present our current exhibition Nature and Climate Change by Curating Tomorrow. The exhibition gives you an insight into the current and future climate change challenges. Experience the exhibition and get acquainted with our strongest ally in the fight against climate change - nature. Visit the exhibition alone or join one of our guided tours.
We express our gratitude to the Bergersenstiftelsen and Sparebanken Sør for their financial contribution to the exhibition.
Crop wild relatives
Spring 2024, we present a new outdoor exhibition on the site of the old playground.
The exhibition explores how our cultural plants and crops are adapting to a changing climate. The crossing of plants to achieve desired traits has led to a significant loss of genetic diversity, making them vulnerable to diseases and climate change compared to their wild relatives. The exhibition looks into the potential for wild relatives of cultural plants to support us in safeguarding global food production in the future.
The exhibition is borrowed from the Natural History Museum in Oslo.
