About Norsk Industriarbeidermuseum – Vemork
The Vemork museum occupies the former hydroelectric power station above the Rjukan valley. The building and its installations present the relationship between water power, industrialization, and workers’ lives, part of the industrial heritage ensemble of Rjukan and Notodden.
The route allows you to view the space of a large technical installation and follow exhibitions about its history. The building is outside Rjukan town center, with its own visitor access and entrance. The visit should not be treated as a quick drive-by in front of the façade.
Set aside part of the day for the museum and for travel around the valley. The industrial theme helps to understand the town’s layout and the role of the landscape in energy production. Check visiting conditions and tour options before assembling your itinerary.
