An honest and engaging account of Norway's oil era, housed in a striking building on the waterfront that resembles an offshore platform. The museum covers the discovery of North Sea oil in 1969, the engineering challenges of extracting it, and the choices Norway made — including the sovereign wealth fund — about what to do with the money. Well worth two hours, even if energy policy isn't your usual interest.
