I still had another day left with my Bergen Card and went to most of the major attractions so decided on visiting here. Best to take the bus with your Bergen Card to get here since it is not in the center of the city. I didn't know what to expect since it sounded like an educational place for family & kids but it turned out to be just as educational for adults! The exhibits were on multiple floors and interactive with games for kids. I went late in the day so I hardly ran into people so pretty much felt I had the whole place to myself. I learned a lot about the fishing industry and being Japanese it was amusing to see some of the exported products to Japan on display in Japanese. The most memorable exhibit was the Seal Hunting. I had no idea it was a big industry long ago. There was a film on display that showed a documentary on the rise and the fall of the seal hunting industry with an interview of the seal industry's heir and be forewarned that you need to stomach watching this since seal clubbing is involved! All in all I spent a good 2 hour in this place.

Must see Museum in Bergen ! Very friendly, helpful and motivated team there, which take the time for the visitors - which made this museum visit very personal. You should really plan enough time for this very nice and modern - but also historical museum - i would say at least 2 hours minimum. i liked the mix between the history, culture and modern way how the museum is built up. and also - i would pay more than 90 NOK to see this museeum ;) I higly recommend to take the Heritage Ferry to the City Center - its only 65 NOK and it feels just great to be on such a historical boat.

Great museum for learning about the history of the fishing industry here, in particular the process for producing Stockfish. On the top floor there is a wonderfully produced video of three guys discussing what it was like to be out on the sea fishing and the dangers involved. The oldest guy in partivular reminisces about the old times. Also a very good documentary detailing the collapse of the seal trade industry as a result of highly charged public opinion across the world. Plenty to see here, I've just highlighted several things I enjoyed.

Ich habe an zwei Tagen das Fischereimuseum in Bergen besucht. Sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und hilfsbereit ist mir die junge Mitarbeiterin begegnet. Insgesamt sind alle Ausstellungsräume auf ihre Art und Weise in hoher Qualität gestaltet. Die Erklärungen sind in norwegischer und englischer Sprache. Wunderbar war für mich auch der Spieleraum "Fisch- und Meeresfrüchtstadt", in dem es um Fischzucht, über Fischverarbeitung, Lagerung bis hin zur Vermarktung und Auslieferung geht. Eigentlich ein lehrreiches Spiel für Schüler. Doch wer ist kein Kind mehr? Erst recht, wenn man norwegisch lernt. Ich musste mich schon anstrengen, ich wollte doch auch Punkte im Spiel sammeln. Vielen Dank für die Lebensfreude in diesem fantastischen Museum. Jeg besøkte Fiskerimuseet i Bergen i to dager. Veldig vennlig, imøtekommende og hjelpsom jeg møtte den unge ansatte. Totalt sett er alle utstillingslokaler designet på sin egen måte i høy kvalitet. Forklaringene er på norsk og engelsk. Fantastisk for meg var også spillrommet " sjømatbyen", der det handler om fiskeoppdrett, fiskeforedling, lagring til markedsføring og levering. Egentlig et pedagogisk spill for elever og studenter. Men hvem er ikke lenger et barn? Spesielt når du lærer norsk. Jeg måtte gjøre en innsats, jeg ville også tjene poeng i spillet. Takk for joie de vivre i dette fantastiske museet.

The Green Kajaks can bei rented as well which is a great experience (definitively make a reservation beforehand!!!). Also there ist a nice and cosy Café with a nice view and great Sandwiches and Coffee. The whole visit was one of my Highlights of Bergen!

The museum itself is fun, but what I strongly recommend is to book the excursion to a fish farm! The ride was amazing, the guide is a marine biologist ready to answer all your questions and the view is incredible. After, you will have plenty of time to explore the museum anf learn even more about the fisheries in Norway.
