So much lost potential here. I went to Rockheim expecting to learn a lot about Norwegian popular…read moremusic. Instead, what I got was mostly a wanky multimedia experience with old touchscreens and laser pointers that basically only played music videos, songs, and showed pictures -- things I could easily pull up on Youtube. The only good part was the wall of instruments and other recording devices where you could pull up info about the object, learn about the history, what artist used it, listen to songs it was in, etc. But that was only about 10% of the museum. The rest was multimedia hell (and I'm a computer nerd) that didn't inform at all about Norwegian music history. For example, the Hip Hop room had a computer game you could play to remix some songs (what's the point?) and a laser pointer that you could use to scribble graffiti on the wall. That's it. No info at all about the history of Norwegian hip-hop, sub-genres, artists, etc. Just games. This kind of superfluous interactive fluff was the majority of the museum. Very disappointing. Although I'm sure that the Canadian company that designed this crap is laughing all the way to the bank, given that Norway spent millions on this junk.

Fun for the whole family on a rainy day!…read more Rockheim is an interactive museum about Norwegian music history. I am no music expert but I still had a wonderful time. There is information both in English and Norwegian, and kids love it because it is interactive with instruments, laser guns and touch screens! Adults love it because of the music, and the reminiscing! Absolutely worth stopping by if you have the time.
