Such a wonderful trip inside the museum in this windy and rainy day in Bergen. We had a short trip with a group of ladies in the museum. It's really big and spacious with organize specimens and displays. Useful and easy to understand of each information given to. You will get confused where to go first cause everything is very wild, very scientific and you definitely curious to yourself and would likely to stay longer cause 1 hour wont be enough, sadly. Friendly staffs, have a really nice wardrobe for jackets and bags. Hope you enjoy visiting the museum. And better to be there early cause 1 hour trip is very short and you will get a cliffhanger feeling if you dont see it everything.And dont forget to visit there cafe so cozy and serves nice food and warm drinks.

In the University Museum of Bergen are located several exhibitions concerning prehistory and history of Western Norway (Vestlandet). Downstairs are presented nice exhibitions dedicated to the Viking Age and Stone Age. At exhibition related to Viking period is shown the history of different artefacts (e.g. jewellery, weaponry) which were robbed on 14th August 2017 and retrieved in October 2017. This fascinating exhibition presents also basic problems connected with the conservation of various archaeological finds. Stone Age exhibition presents the various finds dated to this period which were discovered in Norway. At other exhibitions in the University Museum of Bergen are presented in an interesting way medieval art (e.g. beautifully decorated portals), the art of western Norway and history of theatre. In my opinion, during the visit to the University Museum of Bergen, we can not only see nice exhibited finds but also learn a lots of interesting facts about prehistory and history of Western Norway. Totally worth visiting!

It was... Alright. Maybe my expectations where a bit too high after the Maritime Museum next to it. The museum staff was very friendly and informative and handed me some info material. The place was also clean and easy to find. The biggest issue I had though was the lack of light in the museum. Additionally many of the exhibition pieces (rather small objects) were placed quite far behind the glass. In combination with the lack of light this it made it difficult to examine and the objects properly. If you have the bergen card this museum is free, otherwise I‘m not sure if I would want to pay for it. Nevertheless some really nice and interesting exhibition pieces from various epochs!

I was surprised to find a big collection of Russian icons 17 and 18 centuries at the museum.

This museum has probably the most fantastic exhibit on churches in Norway I've ever seen. Not to mention the other exhibits. The first floor didn't have a lot of English translations, but the exhibits were still easy to understand and absolutely fantastically put together. The rest of the museum had full translations for everything in English and Norwegian. Lastly, the staff was super helpful and friendly.
