BÆRUMS VERK In 1610, Paul Smelter was given the King’s commission to set up a melting house, and the first smelting furnace in the country was built here. During the ironwork’s heyday, everything from cannon balls and cannons to bar iron were produced. Later items, such as ovens, hardware and machine parts gradually became the mainstays of production. Amongst others, Bærums Verk was owned by Norwegians first Prime Minister, Peder Anker, and the Works proved quite important for Norway during the Nordic war. Today we welcome you to these unique surroundings from the 1600’s industrial era. We offer you about 50 shops, craftsmen, workshops, galleries and eating establishments. Shopping, craftsmanship, history and culture are intertwined to give you exciting cultural and social experiences. We offer glassblowing, blacksmiths, galleries, handmade-designs, a museum that houses a unique collection of antique cast-iron ovens, contemporary sculptures and a modern mall.

Svalgangbygningen fra 1728 er museets eldste bygning. Museet har ulike utstillinger om gården og området rundt, jordbrukshistorie, andre verdenskrig og verkstedsutstillinger. Museet har også en stor samling av gamle hageplanter fra østnorske hager. Om sommeren er kaféen åpen, barna kan leke i den 140 meter lange hinderløypen og hilse på en rekke husdyr.

After 6 weeks of negotiations the 112 Eidsvoll men affirmed their unity with the oath "Faithful and true until Dovre falls!" on 20 May 1814. Their mission was completed: they had declared Norway a free and independent nation after more than 4 centuries of union with Denmark. The foundations for democracy in Norway had been laid. 200 years later, we celebrate the Eidsvoll Men's achievement. As the key venue for the bicentenary celebrations, Eidsvoll 1814 is delighted to welcome thousands of visitors to a museum that offers a wealth of things to do and see, all on truly historic ground. Our objective has been to create an inclusive commemoration, with events and visitor activities that also reflect the Norway of today. At the centre of these celebrations is the government's gift to the constitutional bicentenary - the newly restored Eidsvoll House. With handsome furnishings and exuberantly colorful textiles and wall coverings in keeping with Carsten Anker's elegant interior designs, the home of the Norwegian Constitution stands ready to welcome new generations. Together with a new and modern democracy center, a museum shop featuring commemorative items, culinary delights from our own 'Taste of 1814' menu, fascinating and enjoyable guided tours, and a host of special events, we hope to make this a memorable celebration of democracy and representative government through 200 years.
