The Norwegian Glacier Museum is a
non-profit foundation established by the International Glaciological
Society, Norwegian Mountain Touring Association, Norwegian Water Resources
and Energy Directorate, Norwegian Polar Institute, Sogn og Fjordane Regional
College, The University of Bergen and The University of Oslo. |
|
The aim of the Norwegian Glacier Museum is to collect, create and
disseminate knowledge about snow, ice and glaciers. The interplay within the
natural environment and between mankind and nature, is highlighted through
film, interactive models and individual experiment with real glacier ice.
The exhibits deal with 23 themes and show among others the hows and whys of
glaciers, fjords and landscape, and why glaciers play an important part in
the search for knowledge about past and future climate. From the roof you
have a spectacular view of the glaciers and the surrounding landscape.
The Norwegian Glacier Museum is an authorized national park centre, with
special information about Jostedalsbreen National Park.
The museum is designed by the prize winning architect Sverre Fehn. |
