Stavanger Maritime Museum

Stavanger has been a city of seafarers from its earliest days, and the maritime industry has shaped it in many ways, from its early fishing fleets to its modern role as a center for offshore petroleum.
So you'll learn a great deal of the city's history in the exhibits here, which trace its business and industry from the herring fisheries and ship-building of the 1800s to today's role as Norway's oil capital.
