Norwegian Mountain Museum
Acting as the visitors centre for Jotunheimen National Park, this worthwhile mountain museum contains mountaineering memorabilia, exhibits on natural history (the woolly mammoth is a highlight) and cultural and industrial activity in the Norwegian mountains. There’s also an excellent 10-minute mountain slide show, a discussion of tourism and its impact on wilderness and, upstairs, a scale model of the park.

The Fossheim Steinsenter combines Europe’s largest selection of rare and beautiful rocks, minerals, fossils, gems and jewellery for sale and it also includes a large museum of Norwegian and foreign geological specimens; we found stones from Gabon, Congo and Brazil.

Presthaugen Open-Air Museum
Behind the mountain museum, this museum is a collection of 19th-century farm buildings, several stabbur (elevated storehouses), an old hut (it’s claimed that St Olav slept here) and a summer mountain dairy.
