The Norwegian Petroleum Museum offers an engaging look at the offshore oil and gas industry that transformed Norway. Interactive exhibits let visitors try drilling simulations, explore a full-scale platform model, and walk through a real submarine. The museum covers geology, technology, and the industry's impact on society. Its modern architecture on the waterfront is a landmark itself, with panoramic views of the fjord.
