Reopening on July 1th
Finally, on July 1th 2020, after three and a half months of a corona-closure, The Norway’s Resistance Museum reopens the exhibitions. We have so far set a ceiling of 30 guests at a time in the showrooms, and besides made some minor adjustments to the entry and exit lines to ensure the infection protection for our guests.
