I discovered this paradise for fans of old engines, machines, technology and objects during my Norway car round trip 2018.

I am sure that world-famous Hollywood movie producer Roland Emmerich would have created a more representative entrance to a time travel gate but what visitors will find inside the museum is more realistic than a movie can be.

What a fascinating experience: An unbelievable amount of old machines and objects spread out in front of you - and again - and again when you look around the next corner. Some pieces are lovely restored or maintained, others look as if they have been there for years in the same appearance as they reached the museum.

On two floors visitors will find dozens of industrial machines and many items previously used in homes and households. Sometimes even small themed exhibitions are arranged. Examples:

• the motor and machinery workshop
• the happy shoemaker's room
• the fire fighting corner
• the collection of maritime instruments and machines
• and the fish food cannery - likely from the neighborhood.

For me ieverything was very authentic and an impressive experience. Definitely worth a visit.

Just a small selection of my pictures of the numerous exhibits from inside the museum. There is something for every interest.

The happy shoemaker of Skånevik died at the age of 106 years. His life-affirming picture and his workshop items are still existing.
