Kraftmuseet

About

The powermuseum is a vibrant museum which sheds light on the origin of industrial Norway. Odda and Tyssedal went from being an important tourist resort to being an area of pioneering hypropower and industrial expansion. Hydropower and industry were crucial to the shaping of Norway in the 20th Century. For generations, the power cathedral by the fjord transformed roaring waterfalls into lighting and heating. Today the beautiful hydropower plant is an industrial heritagesite, as well as a vibrant museum which offers a wide spectre of activities: films and exhibitions, guided tours, concerts and plays, museum shop and cafeteria, workers houses, science center, hikes to caves and tunnels. Welcome to Tyssedal - a different and dramatic Hardanger!
