Norges Hjemmefrontmuseum

The museum collection focuses on Norwegian resistance during the occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany from 1940 to 1945. The museum displays equipment, photos and documents from the war years. The Museum was opened to the public in May 1970 by HRH Crown Prince Harald of Norway in celebration of the 25th anniversary of Norwegian liberation.

Norway’s Resistance Museum aims to give an authentic presentation of the German occupation during World War II. From prelude, through invasion and resistance, to liberation and peace, the museum gives a thorough view of important events and themes using sound, pictures, texts, authentic objects and lifelike models.
