Activities and adventures

Join us on a tour of the former knitwear factory Salhus Tricotagefabrik (1859–1989), and learn about how clothes were produced here.

Salhus, 20 minutes outside of Bergen city centre.

Special activities for booked groups

Feel the carded wool between your fingers, hear the noise from the machines, take in the smell of oil and wool, and see the machines in action. Explore the factory town of Salhus, see contemporary Norwegian textile art in the gallery or enjoy the sea views from the café. The museum shop has a good selection of locally produced and unique items, and is well worth a visit.

We can adjust after your wish. Please contact for more information
