Norwegian Canning Museum

Canned sardines have played an important role in culinary history. This was particularly true for Stavanger, where canning fish was the leading industry in the late 1800s and early 1900s. This local canning heritage is celebrated at this museum.

The museum is housed in a former canning factory, operational from 1916 until 1958. As you walk around, you’ll get a sense of what it was like working in the factory from every level, from administration to the factory floor.
