Discover what life was like for the Hanseatic merchants of Bergen at Hanseatic Museum and Schøtstuene. Housed in a waterfront wooden warehouse from 1704, the museum covers the period when the Hanseatic League ruled the city. Take a step back in time and walk through the three-story museum's replicated authentic trading room, offices, sleeping quarters, and kitchen. Notice the small beds, low ceilings, and the smell of cod to get a taste of what a merchant's everyday life was like, and view relevant art work from the period.

Bardzo ciekawe muzeum. Można zobaczyć jak wyglądało życie w Bryggen od środka. Zostałam miło zaskoczona, nie spodziewałam się, że będzie tak rewelacyjnie more »

This is the most interesting museum, I think, in Bergen. The painted woodwork is amazing. It would be nice if some of the paper pieces, paintings, and leather work were more protected from the elements but they may do that when they renovate the building next year. The feeling and atmosphere is retained from the Hansestic period and it's a wonderful experience.

Absolute must-go in Bergen. The state the museum is in leaves nothing to be desired and immediately, after 3 or 4 minutes, you feel set back in time. The exhibition is very well structure and informative about the Hanse in Bergen.

Very interesting old, kept as it was, authentic museum. 3/4 floors high and steep stairs, but we'll worth the effort.

Small but well preserved little museum showing how the early settlers of Bergen were conducting their business in this little home. Shows some nifty inventions of those days and how they spent their time working and sleeping there. Got a bundle deal of entry to 3 museums (Hanseatic, fishery) including this, plus a bus that takes you around them.
