Opening hours
The Norwegian Petroleum Museum is interesting for children, youth and adults; you can play on the miniature oil rig, test your fear of heights in the escape chute, check out the models on display or experience what it is like working on a real drill deck. The family can solve puzzles and quizzes together.
The main film “Oilkid” provides insight into what it was like being a kid and growing up in Norway in a time of big changes. Stavanger went from being a mere provincial town to become the “capitol” of the nation’s oil industry. How did the city’s residents deal with those changes?
