Forest in focus

The exhibition "Forest in focus" shows how the forest has developed, and how the resource has shaped the forestry, working life and forest industry. Beyond the 20th century, mechanization made its way into forestry, and the exhibition tells how muscle power was replaced by engine power in the forest.

The exhibition tells the story of the history of Norwegian forestry. You will learn how the forests in Norway have developed since the last ice age, and that today's coniferous forests play a major role in the world's ecological balance.
