Norwegian Museum of Travel and Tourism

Museum on Norway's tourism boom, Balestrand's art colony, and the making of the fjord image.

The Norwegian Museum of Travel and Tourism is exactly the right museum for Balestrand. It looks at how Norway became a travel destination, with Balestrand's artists, hotels, fjord routes, and mountain scenery as part of the story.

It is most interesting if you have already noticed how carefully the fjord landscape was framed for visitors. The museum gives that view a history.
