University Museum of Bergen

The University Museum of Bergen was founded in 1825 by Wilhelm Frimann Koren Christie as Bergen Museum and later formed the basis of the University of Bergen. Its 19th-century natural history building on Muséplass shows a hall of whale skeletons and exhibitions on the deep sea and geology; the cultural history building nearby is being renovated.
