is the largest surviving wooden settlement in Northern Europe. |

This
popular museum brings to life the scenes of a century ago, when poor Norwegians
who did not know what oil was worked hard for little money, cleaning, smoking,
canning and cooking the sild - or sardines as you may know them. Take a guided tour (no extra cost) as they can tell so much more than the now silent machinery. On some days you can taste freshly smoked sardines, or try packing (plastic) sardines into the cans. This museum is fascinating on a social level at least as much as on an industrial level. The industry has been in decline since the 1920's and the last factory in Stavanger closed a few years ago. This museum is part of Stavanger Museum and you can visit all 6 sites in one day for the price of one ticket. By car / bus / train: The hermetikk museum is in Gamle Stavanger, close to the main harbour, Vågen Parking: Park in any of the central Stavanger car parks Distance from Stavanger: 0 km |
