About
The Norwegian Forest Museum is a favorite destination for all age groups. With our scenic location along Glomma, large outdoor areas and great exhibitions, we have something for every taste. We convey the history of forests and open fields with a focus on hunting, trapping, fishing, forestry and the forest industry in Norway. Every year over 100,000 people visit us.
NEW IN 2023

Outdoor area
The museum has a large and beautiful outdoor area. The play area offers development and activity. Right next to it is the Bekkeverkstedet, which leads down to Elveparken and the floodstone. On Prestøya you will find a large collection of historic cabins and forest huts. Here you can also visit Barna's fishing pond and look at old traps and fishing devices.
Exhibitions
Be sure to visit the museum's new exhibition - The Fantastic Tree. An exhibition presenting the growth of a tree and how the photosynthesis is the foundation of all life. The museum offers other both permanent and temporary exciting exhibitions. You can go on your own or get a tour from the museum's skilled mediators.
The museum shop
We welcome you to a shopping trip in cozy surroundings. You do not need to buy a ticket to shop in the museum shop.
Our shop appears as one of the leading museum shops in Norway. The museum shop conveys knowledge about arts and crafts within the museum's specialist field. The range of products is wide, from beautiful art glass, jewelery and clothes to oars, knives and wooden toys. In December we have our own Christmas shop.
The restaurant Forstmann
With a view of Glomma, you can enjoy a tasty lunch, à la carte or party menu - with ingredients from nature's pantry. The restaurant is open during the museum's opening hours. For more information see forstmann.no
