Norwegian Petroleum Museum in Stavanger shows how offshore operations have become Norway’s most important industry, and gives you experiences of this activity. Children and youngsters will find many activities at the museum; the rescue chute, catastrophy room and a play-plattform where they can slide and climb.

Interesting history of how Norway became rich. Salmon farming is also a major industry.

The oil industry has played a vital part in making Norway one of the world's richest countries. This museum tells the story of the industry and explains how oil and gas were originally formed and how they are extracted, refined and used. A 3D film is shown in the cinema, and visitors can take part in a virtual trip out to the oil platforms in the North Sea
