Norwegian Olympic Museum

In addition to the permanent exhibition, the museum also displays temporary exhibitions with a theme related to sports history and athletic achievements.

[2] The Norwegian Olympic Museum was officially opened by King Harald V and Queen Sonja on November 27, 1997, in Håkons Hall.

The museum has interactive installations, multimedia presentations and original objects.

It is the only museum in northern Europe that presents the entire history of the Olympic Games.

[3] “The stories in the museum can be important for young persons because they can inspire them to stay in sports”, said Bjørn Dæhlie, who has won eight gold medals and four silver medals for Norway in three Olympic Games.
