I have been there today with my partner and we loved it. Loved it all just until right the very end. It started so smoothly, free entry as students, very kind personnel, amazing looking museum, very entertaining explanations from the personnel. Everything is clean, tidy, and awesomely designed. It is so clever the transition they do, from the origin of calligraphy to the design and printing on the cans. It is about sardines and their labels. But then, at the end, the souvenirs store sells plastic wrapped sardines. It was all about the label, cool labels. So then why the plastic ?

Loved the information about canning process that was used since 1873 and how the packaging was done. Also loved the information about printing and newspapers and how it all began and evolved. Good place for kids to explore. This place is located on old town Stavanger which you will enjoy on your way there.

Plenty of reviews about the fun exhibitions at the museum so I don't need to repeat it, but I'd like to add that it's little cafe is also quite charming! Be sure to try the sardines dish under "varmt og godt" and their success cake - I thoroughly enjoyed them

We purchased tickets for the Maritime Museum and the receipt gave us free entry to the Iddis which is a typography museum and also the canning museum💕 It was awesome and had so much information. Very visually appealing. I love the canning museum & all the olden time machinery👍🏼

Small museum on graphic design, freedom of press, and the production of canned fish. All of those make sense in context. And they have a lovely cafe.

Students go free, which is always lovely. The new museum on printing and graphic works is very well put together. We were sent through starting at the graphic nd printing museum, ending up in the canning museum section, meaning that the order in which we did this was somewhat discombobulated, and not in a straightforward order. Altogether we enjoyed it and think it's well worth a visit.

Finally got all the explanations how sardines ( and other foodstuff) get into the can. Located in an original factory this museum is definitely worth a visit. The labels of the cans are an artform in it's own form.

Great exhibits showing development from cottage industry to major exporting business. Processes, including canning, very interesting. We also bought some King Oscar sardines from the shop. Printing museum also very interesting.

This museum is awesome. There is so much to discover and you are transported in another time. The workers rooms and work places were so interesting. The history is well preserved here. A big downside - it was very cold so don’t take your coat off! Big bonus- with the ticket you can also visit two other museums.

Best canning museum I've seen. Very interactive, I've managed to put 8 sardines in a can myself.

Visited from our cruise ship. Absolutely loved it. The young girl's English was perfect as well as her knowledge. That was in August 2017.

Very good place to learn about history of stavanger. It was very interesting to know about the life of Norwegians 200 years ago. There is a guide and we can also dress ourselves like those labourers who worked in the early days. It was fun and we could experience how they worked. We could see and experience every step in the process from fishing, cleaning, cooking and packing. We could also taste some baked sardines. Must visit place in stavanger. Entry Ticket price 110 - 140 for elders and Kids below 6 is free.

We got tickets for entry as part of the maritime museum, and had 1hr to fill. But we were pleasantly surprised how good the museum was. The printing part was really informative and very interesting to understand how printing and fishing and canning went together. The canning museum was brilliant and was very hnafs on being set up like a canning factory. Staff were super friendly, and the cafe looked great too.

Two interesting museums in one place. One is about the development from printing techniques with stones to more modern systems. The other shows the fish canning process in its original location. Decent cafe.

Variety of exhibitions. Don't miss the old house where historical setup is preserved. Worth the visit, and if you've been to other Stavanger museums then either free or half price

We loved this museum. Very accessible and bilingual. Lots on typography and history of printing, and then in the old factory, how to prep a sardine and the history of canning. Absolutely fascinating. We were there on a miserable wet day with tight timing but in better circumstances we would have stayed for hours. Fantastic shop with really glorious stuff.

Fascinating insight into the canning industry. We were lucky enough to see some of the machines in action. The ticket also got us into the adjoining museum about the printing industry.

Interesting exhibits and had the paper museum linked with the canning museum. Didn't spend too long as there weren't too many interactive exhibits.

A surprise highlight of my trip to Stavanger. A really interesting exhibit that also covers the socio-economic history of the canning industry that's really well laid out. The staff were also very friendly and even joined us to give us more information and background to the museum. Highly recommend!

A nice and cozy place preserved just the way it was from 19th century. The historical canning musuem might sound funny but it’s actually very interesting to see how sardines were being packaged and sold in the local market. Also the technology itself is very fascinating and beholds an interesting historical background. Also, the museum is preserved in the house of one of the farmer and that is kind of special too. The location of museum is right in the city center so, it can be one of the lookout points for people traveling via cruise. Plus they have special discounts for students and senior citizens.

Nice museum, with some hands on exhibits for kids. We were there on a Tuesday and the whole museum smelled like smoked sardines which you can taste. Entrance is 100 NOK and includes admission to some other Stavanger museums.

Visiting Stavanger for one day? The canning museum is very close to the cruise terminal at the heart of the old town, is very interesting and has an excellent cafe. Also a lovely old cafe opposite the entrance for coffee and cake!

Probably the only museum where the curators have to know how to cook sardine 🐠

A historical delight. You get the opportunity to learn about Norwegian (sardine ) herring history from the 1866

Awesome little museum. Really appreciated the history around the canning industry and local economy. Topped off with a live demo of an old canning machine!
