| bryggen's museumBryggen, the old wharf in Bergen, is an exceptional example of a medieval district, and it has been designated a World Heritage site by UNESCO. In 1955 parts of Bryggen were ravaged by a fire, and during the subsequent excavations a huge number of objects were found that provide a vivid insight into commerce, shipping, handicrafts and everyday life in medieval times.
Bryggen’s Museum allows you to experience life in medieval Bergen, and the museum has been built over the remains of the first settlement at Bryggen. The oldest buildings are from the 12th century, and the various finds have been left in the ground where they were found by the archaeologists. Bryggen’s Museum also hosts temporary art displays and themed exhibitions, and it is the starting place for Bryggen Guiding, which is a historic walk through Bryggen’s past that goes from Bryggen’s Museum through the old wooden buildings to the Hanseatic Museum.
