0
Rockheim, meaning "Home of Rock" in Norwegian, is the National Museum of Popular Music in Norway. It is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and sharing Norwegian popular music from the 1950s to the present day. At Rockheim, visitors can experience a "time tunnel," which is an expansive journey through recent Norwegian music and cultural history, occupying over 1,320 square meters. This interactive journey takes visitors from the rise of youth culture in the 1950s to the diverse digital media landscape of today. The exhibition highlights Norwegian bands, artists, and the industry within the cultural context of each decade. Additionally, Rockheim boasts its own performance stage and conference hall, as well as what may be the most exciting museum shop in Norway for music enthusiasts. On the top floor of the museum, there is a panoramic restaurant. Here, visitors can reflect on their experiences and enjoy a good meal, all while taking in the view over the beautiful city.
