  1. Norwegian Mining Museum

    This worthwhile Norwegian Mining Museum, in an 1844 smelter, tells the story of mining in Kongsberg with relics, models and mineral displays; the old smelting furnaces still survive in the basement. In the same building, other sections include the Royal Mint, which was moved from Akershus Fortress in Oslo to the source of silver in 1686, as well as a skiing museum and other local exhibitions.
