"Home Port Stavanger"
Explore the exhibition. A local pirate, a general store manager, a young sailor, and a telegraph operator who traveled the world from the port of Stavanger are some of the characters you’ll meet in “Home Port Stavanger”
In the exhibition “Home Port Stavanger,” you can explore Stavanger’s ship fleet through the ages and learn more about what a port has been — and still is — today. You’ll also meet some of the people who have helped shape the harbor.
Discover the city’s development through digitized maps at Stavanger Maritime Museum.
Explore — and understand — how the city grew around the harbor by studying historical maps and drawings. In digital layers, these maps reveal who lived and worked in the houses around Vågen, and how the city gradually expanded from the safety of the harbor.
