Cafe
The Museum Café is a café with a difference. It is owned by the well-known restaurateurs Bølgen & Moi and managed by Tom Helge Sørensen, one of Norway’s leading chefs and past member of its national cooking team. In the evening, this popular museum café is transformed into a gourmet restaurant of international standard.Along with their meal, café guests can enjoy a fine view of the Port of Stavanger and beyond it the magnificent fjords and mountains of Ryfylke.
Note: Museum Shop & Cafe aren't something you usually consider worth going to a museum for, but for these I would & will again - the Cafe is a place for coffee or lunch, heard about the Cafe more than about the museum (many times, all positive...)
And there's also a library in the musuem that I did not get to wander in, imagine it would be good for research--should be something in English in there?!
On the webpage homepage be sure to watch the video Cultural Heritage Ekofisk to get a view of an offshore NorthSea platform village - you just imagine it's one rig out in the middle of nowhere, but here it looks like a whole city!
Be sure to Go to these 2 movies at the Norsk Oil Museum...
The History of the Earth, check out Drile (the mechanical man, which I found the character on their webpage & have copied it here - he's waving & fun) as well as Petro (the cat, who is orange & animated or is it stop action, but can't find him on-line, he's really wicked looking - even more so in 3-D talking...Yes, you get 3-D paper glasses to wear, what fun! I felt like such a kid...)
And then the Travel Channel Lonely Planet Ian Wright movie about Ormen Lange -
which you can also go watch at www.norway.org/business/oil/ormenlange.htm
You'll see the article Norway Energy in a Pipe & the right sidebar for Links, 3rd choice down is where you can click on the Guided Tour of Ormen Lange with Ian Wright from Lonely Planet (Mediaplayer)
