...Museums...

There are many great museums in Stavanger, the two newest being the Norwegian Petroleum Museum and the Children's Museum.

The oldest museum is of course Stavanger Museum, which was founded in 1877. The museum covers a wide range of fields with its collections and exhibitions within both natural and cultural history. The museum consists of four separate departments: the Zoological Department, the Ethnological Department, Stavanger Maritime Museum, and the Norwegian Canning Museum.
