Norwegian Glacier Museum

The Norwegian Glacier Museum (Norwegian: Norsk Bremuseum) is a museum in the Norwegian county of Vestland. Sverre Fehn, the architect, designed the structure. In 2002, it was decided to construct an expansion to the museum, which was also designed by Fehn. The museum now contains the Ulltveit-Moe Climate Centre, a 2007 extension built by Fehn. The museum's declared mission is to "collect, produce, and distribute information about glaciers and climate". It contains information about the Jostedalsbreen glacier and the Jostedalsbreen National Park. The museum is open every day from April to October.

The Norwegian Trekking Association, the International Glaciological Society, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, the Norwegian Polar Institute, the Sogn og Fjordane University College, the University of Bergen, and the University of Oslo collaborated to establish it. Sarner Ltd, a museum and attraction design firm located in the United Kingdom, was commissioned in 2006 to produce an experience display about climate change. Former US Vice President Walter Mondale inaugurated the exhibit Our Fragile Climate in July 2007. The structure is constructed out of geometric shapes, with a long rectangular exhibition corridor and a cylindrical lecture hall among them. All of these changes provide dynamism to the overall framework.
