Very popular with local families which must be a good sign. Lots of hands on activities for the children, reasonably priced (for Norway) café and lots of good displays for adults. We stayed for about 3 hours but could have spent longer as there was numerous bits we didn't see. Only downside is its a bit far out of town, but this can be reduced by taking the train rather than the tram.
If you like technology, even a little bit, you will like this place. The basement is the best part :)
The collection has great variety, there's an unusual collection of cars, planes and other vehicles. In addition, there's a great range to the collection, everything from medicine, to clocks, to the oil industry. Great for adults and plenty for kids too.
Fascinating museum but it was overrun with tourists from the cruise ships less than an hour after opening. If you'd like to have more opportunity to study the displays, I would suggest getting there just as the museum opens or perhaps late in the day.
It is not one of the most popular attractions in Oslo but its definitely a hidden gem. The collection this museum houses is excellent. Starting from the first SAS jet (yes they actually have the whole jet plane inside the museum) to first car used by teh prime minister, Old locomotives, planes, cars it is a great place to go.There are very informative exhibits on other fields of science including Oil & Gas, Physics, Light and its properties, musical instruments, telecom etc.Its located at Kjelsas and the best way to go is by Tram from city centre (Tram number 12).
The museum is a bit further away from the city than other oslo museums, however it is easy to reach by public transit. Most of the displays are designed for younger ages but nonetheless they are interesting. Children of all ages are going to have fun while learning and experimenting. A lot of the displays didnt have an english explanation and thats something the museum should work form
Not on the beaten track but a great find and so much to see and do especially if you have children or grandchildren, a not to be missed place for a cold or wet day! This is one of the best touch and feel museums you can imagine.
The day we went, the place was inundated with school children on a summer field trip. They were so fun to watch! And ALL the displays were well done. (well, not the medical one). But this place is the answer to the question, "How do things work?"
Fun and educating for the family. Enjoy playing with Technology. Fine food. Evolution. Have a great time watching the industrial photos taken by Kraft.
Very nice museum of technology. First thing what I saw was very big amount of wooden cubes. Great if you have children with you or you like to build towers :-) In museum are cars, airplanes even trains. You can find there elektronics, music and very interesting part of Oil mining. But prepare more then just a hour, maybe two.
