Main content

The goal of University museum of Bergen is to stimulate and create interest and curiosity among our audience. Shedding light upon natural- and cultural heritage and the way in which we do research. The Department of learning, exhibitions and events is producing exhibitions, educational programs and other projects reaching out to the public. The center of all our productions is the collections at the museum, natural- and cultural heritage management and the collections in the University gardens both the Museum garden in the city center and the Arboretum and Botanical garden at Milde.

We produce exhibitions, digital material ranging from web site to social media, print and text, education targeting the schools and reach out through a collaboration with the media.

The collections and the museum are both scientific collections and exhibitions.

The Department of learning, exhibitions and events organizes and coordinates the contact with the audience in general as well as specific groups such as students, UIB employees, tourists, and schools. We produce in a wide range of ways but always with the exhibitions as the focal point.

We offer guided tours as well as programs specifically made for kindergartens and schools.
The museum shops at both Cultural history and Natural history offer a variety of presents, books postcards and souvenirs.
