Norwegian Glacier Museum
Norsk Bremuseum
A glacier and climate museum in Fjærland, with a panoramic glacier film and ice blocks you can touch that are a thousand years old. Great for families.
The Norwegian Glacier Museum, designed by architect Sverre Fehn, sits at the head of Fjærland Fjord and is one of the visitor centers of Jostedalsbreen National Park. Its interactive exhibits explain glacier formation, ice ages, and climate change. Visitors can touch ice blocks that are a thousand years old, and a panoramic theater screens aerial footage of the Jostedal glacier. Admission is about NOK 150, and a visit takes about 1.5 hours. It is about an hour's drive from Luster via Sogndal.
