A little way outside of Oslo, to the north, you can still reach this excellent science museum by bus (23), train (L3), or tram (12) in a few minutes.
Some 25 temporary and permanent exhibitions take place here at any one time, while kids can get to grips with over 80 interactive stations.
Something they’re sure to love is the Teknoteket, a digital workshop where they can let their creativity take over, using high-tech tools to build racing cars or invent their own electronic appliances. In the static exhibitions are groundbreaking pieces of technology, from the Birkeland-Eyde arc furnace on the square in front to the Tesla BS 242 Electron Microscope dating to 1958. The National Museum of Medicine is also here, with antique instruments and information about how diseases like cholera were treated in the 19th century.
