Inside & Outside The Norwegian Petroleum Museum

It was an OPEN DAY at the museums today.
Here is a glimpse from the Norwegian Petroleum Museum.

From Spain.

Holiday time, and here is one of many busses from abroad.
Tourists from Spain have arrived in Stavanger.

SIGRID en BERNT

I just met this couple Sigrid and Bernt from the Netherlands.

Well, Bernt's father came from Norway.
So my question was of course: Do you speak Norwegian?
No, he said.... only "stiv kuling" (Gale, in English :-)
They have had plenty of wind, and last night, thunder and lightening and plenty of rain too.
Today turned out to be ok with sunshine and temperatures up to +18 C
They had visited Flor & Fjære and were impressed about that!
Food prices (and going out for a meal) was extremely expensive they said.
I think they are not alone with that experience.

The lucky couple will be on holiday until the end of September.

I wished them a good and safe journey.
Next stop might be Oslo?
Have fun!

A splash of colour.

Always nice to see a splash of colour on a grey day.

I saw this in the shop at the oil-museum.
Some of the museums have got some useful and creative things to buy, and this is probably one of the best museum shops to visit.

An early evening outside The Norwegian Petroleum Museum.

Early morning. To the right is part of the Oil Museum and in the background you see the bridge where cars and busses are on their way to and from Hundvaag, a nearby suburb of the city.

Is the autumn on it`s way? (Look at the trees.)

This is a corner of the Oil Museum in Stavanger.
