During the Easter and autumn holidays, a separate activity program is also offered for the whole family.

The Norwegian Road Museum marks its contribution to road history through the new exhibition "Time and the Road". This historic exhibition, opened by the Minister of Transport and Communications Ketil Solvik-Olsen, has taken a full two and a half years to develop and is an impressive investment of NOK 20 million. Here you get to experience the history of Norwegian road construction in a modern, interactive exhibition of over 1,000 sqm!

Since its opening in 1992, the museum has had a number of visits, and the original exhibition has now been replaced with an exciting, technological and interactive version. Visit the newly upgraded exhibition with 41 projectors, 28 screens and close to 100 unique objects – from the small glass beads of the Viking Age to a 12-tonne Bloughed excavator!

Museum director Geir Atle Stormbringer explains how modern communication techniques make history alive and engaging for future generations. Technology and real museum objects combine to give the public an authentic experience – both for the deeply interested and for those who prefer a faster walkthrough.

The exhibition is the result of a successful collaboration between the museum's professionals and experienced exhibition architects from Kvorning Design & Communication in Denmark. The unique architectural solutions and flexibility of the presentation create a dynamic and timeless space where the audience is free to immerse themselves in the history of the road in their own way.

Experience Norwegian road history as you have never seen it before - perfect as part of a memorable ski holiday in Hafjell!
