The University Museum of Bergen Cultural history is closed, long term, and needs to be rehabilitated to meet modern security requirements.

- It is not permitted to take food and drink into the museum.
- Bags are to be stored in the museum’s cloakroom.
- Buy your ticket online. It is cheaper and provides faster access to the exhibitions.
