Vitensenteret

The grand former home of Norway’s Central Bank is now a modern science center with a focus on education. Don’t expect a dull museum, though—this is an interactive experience with plenty for kids and the young at heart to keep their hands and minds busy. Transport yourself back to high school in the chemistry experiment labs, or learn a little about modern robotics before sitting back and enjoying the show in the 3-D theater and planetarium. Staff put on special shows and activities during the Norwegian school holidays (as well as training sessions for Norway’s science teachers).
