About This Museum
Forget the stuffy museums you're used to; this place is a living, breathing gateway to Norway's largest inland delta. The entire center is built on stilts above the water, so you're not just learning about the wetland, you're in it. It’s a place where the gurgle of water and the call of birds are your constant soundtrack. You come here not to see artifacts behind glass, but to witness an ecosystem in action.
Collection Highlights
The real 'collections' are outside: thousands of migratory birds like geese and ducks that stop here seasonally. Inside, you'll find interactive maps tracing their epic journeys and a wonderfully simple exhibit of feathers and skulls that lets you get hands-on with nature. Don't miss the old timber floating exhibition, a nod to the region's history of log driving.
Visitor Information
Grab a pair of their loaner binoculars and just wander—the wooden boardwalks stretch for kilometers through the reeds. It’s incredibly family-friendly, with activities for kids that make spotting wildlife a game. Honestly, just sitting on their deck with a coffee, watching the horizon for a white-tailed eagle, is a perfect afternoon.
Architecture & Building
It's a modern, low-slung building crafted from wood and glass, designed to have a minimal footprint. With its long wooden ramps extending over the water, it feels less like a building and more like an elegant bridge into the wilderness.
