On loan from the NEMO Science Museum in Amsterdam, the Energetica exhibition is coming to the Sunnfjord Science Museum. It’s a series of installations that allow visitors to experience the power of the elements as we harness them. From solar energy powering lighting, to ‘Wind Island’ that shows how turbines are able to use and control wind to create power.
There are guided tours of the museum that leave every hour. These tours are 70 NOK per person and include a handy printed guide of the museum.
If you would like to organise a guided tour for your group of 6 or more people, please contact us to arrange the tour.
