Why are we so fascinated by models? In The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology 's new exhibition you will encounter models of all kinds – small and large, new and old, detailed and imaginative.
Modeller brukes til undervisning, forskning, testing, reklame og lek. De kan forminske eller forstørre, forenkle eller forskjønne. Noen modeller etterligner virkeligheten slik vi kjenner den, andre forsøker å vise en tenkt virkelighet. De tas i bruk når ord, tekst, tegninger eller bilder kommer til kort. Modeller taler et universelt språk og tjener til å visualisere det som er for komplekst til å forstå. Vi lar oss ofte fascinere av modeller, kanskje uten helt å forstå hvorfor. De er uttrykk for kreativitet og fantasi. Utstillingen står ut 2026.
The exhibition receives support from the Bergesen Foundation and the Sat Sapienti Foundation
What will you find in the exhibition?
Models have a long tradition at The Norwegian Museum of Science and Technology . We find several models among the first objects from the establishment of the museum in 1914, and today the museum has hundreds of models in its collections.
In this exhibition you will find models of everything from steam engines to the body's organs, from operating instructions to cars. The models tell about how knowledge has been produced, practiced and communicated at our museum for more than a hundred years.
If you come by at the weekend, you can also take part in an adrenaline-filled car race!
