I went to art school, so I know the dance. It felt like I was back in art school and looking through the work of some of my contemporaries... having to refrain from eye-rolls and keep a straight face when I know when people are trying too hard. But the price is fair, and it was an interesting way to spend a couple minutes. This may come off as judgmental and critical and snooty... and it is. Deal.

We happened to stumble across this small museum as we were discovering Bryggen. We were taking in…read morethe sites and seeing a nice green space behind the Bryggen frontage and saw these old houses I wanted to take pictures of. Turns out it was a museum where you can literally step back into time and see how the seafaring merchants lived during the 1700's. The entrance fee was not expensive at all, about $17, which felt right for the amount of stuff you get to see. If you don't want to enter the museum, you can still walk around the outside to check out the architecture and gardens. There were fun lawn games outside. We didn't play any but I don't believe that they would kick you out if you wanted to play a bit and didn't buy a ticket. I would definitely recommend this place if you're into history and taking a step back into the live of people from the past.

We didn't have much planned for the beginning of our day so we decided to start here and work our way back into the city to do the things we had timed reservations for. The surrounding grounds were quite lovely and free to the public. The weather was amazing when we went and there were people sunbathing in the grass and picnicking. There is a lot of greenery and the beauty of the area is spectacular. The walls around the fortress were interesting. We did an entire lap around the walls first, then wandered up to where the manicured grass and building were. Many of the buildings, like the royal residence/castle are no longer standing but there are two main structures of historical significance, Haakon's Hall and Rosenkrantz Tower. The exhibits inside were worth the entrance fee to the museums, in my opinion.
