To secure a venue for your event, it is recommended to book early. Especially for weekend events. Many wedding dates are booked between one and two years in advance. Courses and seminars should be booked at least two months in advance, but we try to find solutions even for late bookings.

We are closed for rental of premises in July and on public holidays.

The invoice will be sent after the event has taken place. The venue is booked when you receive an order confirmation from us. Exceptions for foreign invoice addresses where the rental price must be paid in advance.

The rental price includes rigging, white damask tablecloths, white damask napkins, tealight holders with electric tealights and access to technical equipment such as a projector and Soundbox in the venue. The venue is cleaned by the museum after the event.

It is not permitted to attach decorations to walls or ceilings, or to move museum objects in the premises. It is also not permitted to use confetti cannons, smoke machines or candles. The tenant is responsible for any damage to buildings or interiors, and the amount of compensation will be assessed based on the extent of the damage.

The tenant has access to the premises from the time the museum opens on the actual event date, and can then come to decorate. All decorations brought along must be packed up at the end of the evening. This can be stored and picked up by arrangement. It is also possible to deliver decorations in advance so that they are stored at the museum before the event date.

Please note that FoodOccasion sets the tables, and that table decoration with, for example, flowers and place cards can be arranged with FoodOccasion in advance, so that they place this on the tables when the tables are set.

Floral decorations are not included, but can be arranged through our partner or your own external supplier. All catering, food and drinks must be ordered through our supplier.

All catering is provided by our partner FoodOccasion. For inspiration, you can see FoodOccasion's website. FoodOccasion can also customize menus according to your wishes.

To discuss menus and catering options, FoodOccasion can be contacted at post@foodo.no.

Please note that it is not possible to rent the venue without catering and staff from FoodOccasion.

No drinks are allowed. All alcohol must be ordered through our partner. The host can either cover all drinks and be invoiced, or let the guests pay themselves. It is also possible to combine these solutions, e.g. with vouchers and then card payment.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, and menus can be adapted for allergy sufferers by arrangement.

The museum is located in Bygdøynes, with easy access by bus, car or bicycle. There are municipal parking spaces in the area, as well as street parking, and there is a ferry to Bygdøynes between March and October. For more information, prices and departure times, see the websites of Båtservice Sightseeing AS and Ruter.

For smaller weddings, there is a minimum number of 40 people, and for alcohol-free weddings, this must be agreed in advance with our supplier.

Yes, together with our partner Båtservice Sightseeing AS we can offer sightseeing boat rentals from April to October. The boat's capacity is a maximum of 100 people.
