In Haugesund you can come close to the essence of Norway with the beautiful fjords, rivers and lakes. A variety of trails give a splendid view of the landscape that can be explored all year around.

The Gerhard Marcks House is fully dedicated to sculpture. This internationally recognised museum is home to the vast majority of the artworks created by Gerhard Marcks, a sculptor from Berlin who, among other things, gifted the city of Bremen with his famous statue of the fairy tale 'The Town Musicians of Bremen'. The collection continues to expand, with the addition of works by other sculptors, including contemporary artists.

Even the exterior of Universum Bremen was designed to astound: this science centre is housed in a futuristic-looking structure which looks uncannily like a whale. It is even situated on a lake. Visitors of any age will enjoy getting up close to natural phenomena, such as what it feels like to experience an earthquake, and having a go at experiments, such as stopping lightning bolts. Try out the interactive exhibits as you move through the permanent exhibition spaces dedicated to Technology, Humans and Nature and the ever-changing special exhibitions about socially important topics. There are also many exciting things to discover in the outdoor area at Universum, where you can conduct experiments in the open air.
