    Small museum around everything technical. What the museum might miss in professionalism is more than made up by the highly motivated, enthusiastic and helpful volunteers. They spend time with us and the kids and explained everything from trams to the fully functional printer's room in the back. Highlight was 1 operating one of the historic presses creating a small picture page. Highlight 2 is of course the short tram right through the streets of Bergen. If you lived or visited eastern Berlin/Germany in the 1990s you might get nostalgic as the trams are former Berlin cars, purchased in 1993. The tram car ride was the kids favorite, the ride is included in the entrance fee. You can also use the tram to reach the museum, starting from the University Museum place. They plan on expanding the tram ride to the theater in Engen - tracks are layed, overhead wire still missing, but they plan to run it starting in a few weeks (from Aug 2022). As far as i understood, trams only runs Sundays in the summer.

    Interesting museum with a few old vehicles,buses,trams and motorcycles. Recommend coming on a weekend when you can ride one of the vintage tram cars which are imported from Berlin.

    This place is great. The only reason for 4 starts instead of 5 is that this museum has the potential to become even better, and it's only open one day a week. It's a fairly small operation housed in an old tram repair depot, staffed entirely by volunteers, but they have an amazing variety of items on display, from trams and trains, autos and trucks to steam engines and even a working print shop. My thanks to the volunteer that gave me a "behind the scenes" tour of the tram repair workshop, which included a forge and lots of cool blacksmithing equipment. Let's not forget the functioning tram line, included in the admission price, that takes visitors on a short ride from the museum into Bergen's city center. A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon!

    A JOURNEY THROUGH BERGEN'S TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT Welcome to the Bergen Technical Museum. This live exhibition shows the technical development in Bergen and in Western Norway, and focuses mainly on transport and communication (how the technical devices work). The mouse is located inside The Old Tram Hall from 1913 and was protected by the National Archives in 1994. THE EXHIBITIONS Bergen's Technical Museum is made up of two areas containing different exhibitions: the Vognhallen and the Printing House. But we always have many plans to expand our exhibitions and thus have many exciting projects underway at any given time (read more about this under "The way forward"). The wagon hall The wagon hall is the heart of the facility here at Møhlenpris. Here the trams were once stored, repaired and maintained. The printing house The printing house is one of our most important contributions to the goal of being a living technical museum.

    A good holiday for children, informative for adults. And it was very interesting to ride through the old streets, in a narrow carriage, with retro music. People on the road all waved and greeted

    (Translated by Google) Large interesting collection around transport and printing. Intimate little cafe. Most exciting is the museum tram that runs over Nyhårdshøyden, to 'Løven' at Muséplass. (Original) Stor interessant samling rundt samferdsel og trykkeri. Intim liten kafé. Mest spennende er museumstrikken som kjører over Nyhårdshøyden, til 'Løven' på Muséplass.

    Almost every Sunday, I run an old streetcar preservation operation.

  • 4/5 Olga G. 4 years ago on Google
    This is nice small technical museum. Good place to visit with children once. You can find some old cars and trims from Bergen, old wagons from Fløyen funicular and some other cars. Some olds car-toys too :) Inside there are some old book-print machines, but we didn't visit it. Nice to visit once, and cheap tickets :)

    Kjempekjekt for store og små 😊😊 Flott å kunne støtte litt, så de kanskje får nok penger etterhvert til å forlenge kjøreledningen til Engen 😊

  • 5/5 Arve A. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) They have a steam engine that works! (Original) De har dampmaskin som virker!

    Tram itself was amazing, museum need renovation

  • 4/5 Mikael T. 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The museum can best be described as a collection of older technical objects. The place was originally a tramway and the transport sector is well represented. There are trams, trains, bus and trolley bus. Otherwise you will find a lot of strange things, from military objects and vehicles to racing cars and old boat engines. Part of the museum is dedicated to old printing machines. So here is something for everyone. The exhibition is by no means educational and can be perceived as messy. The highlight is undoubtedly the tram ride that takes place on Sundays in the summer. Then you can run the museum tram. The museum is largely run by volunteers on a daily basis. They should be honored to keep the tram and the collection alive. (Original) Museet kan best beskrives som en samling av eldre tekniske gjenstander. Stedet var opprinnelig en trikkehall og transportsektoren er godt representert. Det finnes trikk, tog, buss og trolleybuss. Ellers finner man mye rart, fra militære gjenstander og kjøretøy til racerbiler og gamle båtmoterer. En del av museet er viet til gamle trykkerimaskiner. Så her er det noe for enhver smak. Utstillingen er på ingen måte pedagogisk og kan oppleves som rotete. Høydepunktet er utvilsomt trikkekjøringen som finner sted søndager i sommerhalvåret. Da kan man kjøre museets trikk. Museet drives stort sett av frivillige på dugnad. De skal ha all honnør for å holde liv i trikken og samlingen.

    Flott sted å ta med familien og barna. Koster bare 100 pr voksen, og alle under 18 går gratis. Billetten inkluderer også tur/retur med trikken. Skikkelig flott tur som går helt til Engen. Her er toaletter og egen flott kafe på museet også. Åpent søndager i sesongen fra 12-16. Om sommeren er det åpent om lørdager også. Anbefales om man er interessert i trikker og gamle biler, modeller og de gamle fløybanene.

  • 5/5 simon m. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent museum and very welcoming staff. The MUST DO's are the cafe (great coffee and hot waffles with jam, delicious) and the old East Berlin tram ride (into Bergen) driven by a uniformed driver. Also there are trucks, cars, machines, engines, printing presses and railway vehicles). This is a hidden gem.

  • 5/5 Stian E. 1 year ago on Google
    Quite nice with the old tram driving on the original tracks from 1897-1965. A lot of old transport vehicles and different old printing presses with an interesting story. A nice experience for the kids to see how it was in the early 1900s. Highly recommended!!
