Norwegian Museum of Hydropower and Industry

[1] A main attraction is the power station Tysso I, which was designed by architect Thorvald Astrup (1876–1940) and constructed between 1906 and 1918.

The station contains machinery and control room equipment from the entire period of operation, 1908–1989.

In 2000 Tyssedal power plant – including Tysso I, pipelines, distribution pool and watchman's house at Lilletopp, and intake pool and valve house at Vetlevann – was protected for posterity by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage.

Today the building houses the museum's exhibitions, library, archives, photo and audio collections, as well as an auditorium.

Three old workmen's houses in Odda and a small former hydrologic research station at the glacier Folgefonna are also part of the museum.
