Visiting the Storage

Sharing the collections is an important part of Norsk Folkemuseum Foundation’s mission, and we aim to accommodate all inquiries in the best possible way.

Guidelines for visiting our collections:

Visits are by appointment and must be scheduled at least four weeks in advance. Please note that capacity is limited, and there may be a waiting period of several weeks at times.

  • Visiting hours are on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, with four weeks’ notice required, between 9:00 -15.00.
  • Make an inquiry where you tell us about the background and object of your visit. If you wish to take photos, copy the artifact or take patterns, this must be stated in your inquiry.
  • There is a limitation of withdrawing 5 artifacts per visit, but for special occasions you can ask for more artifacts.
  • A list with inventory numbers for the prioritized artifacts must be sent with the application. To find the numbers, you can search here. Artifacts may be unavailable for withdrawals due to exhibitions, external loans or conservation.
  • If you wish photos of artifacts for official use, contact The Photo Agency.
