Norwegian Telecom Museum and its collection

Norwegian Telecom Museum
Source

The Norwegian Telecom Museum had a nationwide presence, with exhibitions and collections in several locations across the country. These locations included Oslo, Stavanger, Jeløy, Kristiansand, Lier, Lærdal, Lødingen, Sørvågen, Tromsø and Trondheim. This wide distribution allowed the museum to reach a larger audience and provide a more comprehensive view of Norway's telecommunications history.

Closure and Merger of the Museum

In April 2017, Telenor, the main financier of the Norwegian Telecom Museum, announced that it would no longer support the museum's operations. As a result, the museum was closed from January 2018. However, the museum's collections and exhibits were not lost. They were merged with the Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology, ensuring that the history and evolution of telecommunications in Norway continue to be accessible to the public.
