Theta Museum

A one-room museum in the old Bryggen Hanseatic quarter in the heart of Bergen, Norway. Its main exhibit is the room itself that houses the museum – for this reason it is also known under the epithet "Theta Room" (rather than "museum"). It was the secret HQ of a local branch of the Norwegian Resistance during the German occupation in WWII. It was in fact so well hidden that it was only discovered by accident by the Germans, who promptly destroyed it, in 1942. The present room is therefore only a reconstruction.
 
This resistance cell, which called itself the Theta Group (hence the museum's name), primarily had the aim of maintaining communications, including with the Norwegian government in exile in Great Britain. Accordingly, the old radio equipment is the main thing to see in this miniature museum, together with photos, maps and a machine gun on the wall … For more substantial commodification of the topic go to the Resistance Museum in the nearby Bergen Fortress complex.
 
Fitting for a such a formerly clandestine operations room, the museum is supposedly still tricky to locate – though I had no problems finding it at all in actual fact. However, when I did, I found it closed. My arrival in Bergen had been delayed somewhat so I narrowly missed the extremely restricted opening times of this museum that day. The next few days it didn't open at all. So I couldn't see it properly. Shame. But at least I got a glimpse of it from the outside.
