The museum works to promote knowledge and experiences related to art and holiday life, coastal culture, and the ice trade in Krager\u00f8. The main site of Berg\u2013Krager\u00f8 Museum is idyllically located at Berg by the Hellefjord in Krager\u00f8. Here you will find the Homann family\u2019s country house, a place frequented by many prominent cultural figures during the 19th and early 20th centuries.<\/p>\n

Country houses served as summer residences for a cultural elite and bear witness to a period when the timber trade and, later, the ice industry created extensive employment and great wealth. In 1927, Miss Henriette Marie \u201cJeia\u201d Homann (1866\u20131943) bequeathed the entire property, including all buildings and furnishings, for museum purposes. After this, several historic buildings were relocated to the site.<\/p>\n

The Berg\u2013Krager\u00f8 Museum property covers nearly 700 decares (approximately 170 acres). The museum buildings at Berg house both permanent and temporary exhibitions, as well as a museum shop and caf\u00e9. Here, visitors can explore the fascinating story of the export of ice from Krager\u00f8 to the wider world, learn about working life at Tangen Shipyard, and not least discover the bright and inspiring story of Edvard Munch\u2019s time in Krager\u00f8 and the artworks he created here.<\/p>\n

The play exhibition is popular with children of all ages. During the summer season, the museum offers guided tours of the country house and the cabin Solhaug. Guided tours are also available upon request.<\/p>\n

A museum visit can be combined with recreation in the park, nature trails, boating, swimming, and sunbathing. The site offers a guest marina for day visitors and ample parking. The exhibition building is well adapted for group visits, with elevator access and baby-changing facilities. Inside the museum, there is a drawing corner, playroom, and collage workshop. Outdoors, children can follow activity trails or borrow outdoor toys and games.<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":139389,"parent":9163,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-143636","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nAbout Berg-Krager\u00f8 Museum -
