EXPERIENCE GLASSBLOWING UP CLOSE

Feel the warmth from the ovens and watch as our skilled glassblowers create the most beautiful glass objects. It's fascinating to witness the process and the work behind our large vases and the intricate details of the wine glasses. Observe the seamless collaboration between the glassblowers as they almost dance around the workshops - often without exchanging a word. Working as a glassblower here requires many years of experience, and we are not exaggerating when we say that the country's best glassworkers work here with us.

The Glass Hut is open every day and has free admission.

SKATTKAMMERET MUSEUM - 260 YEARS OF HISTORY

As the name suggests, our museum offers an experience and an exciting journey through Norway's largest glass and crystal production spanning 260 years.

The exhibition takes us from the first bottles of the 18th century - which traveled all the way to India - to the first crystal glasses of the 1850s, which laid the foundation for the glassware we adorn our festive tables with today. Here, you can see magnificent crystal with richly cut decorations, glass and crystal for various purposes with hand-painted, sandblasted, and engraved designs.

"Skattkammeret" Museum's exhibits span three floors and tell countless stories from the three centuries the glassworks has existed.
