Meet the Museum’s marine biologists during One Ocean Week

It is once again time for One Ocean Week in Bergen,  5th-11th of April 2025. You can read more about the event on the home page. 

The University museum will participate in several ways, one of them is that you can come and meet most of our “marine team” during the Family Day outdoor event!

Date: 06 April
Time: 12.00–16.00 CET
Location: Festningskaien, Bergen (map link)
Open for all, and free of charge!

Marine biologists from the department of Natural History at the University Museum will be on stand, ready to tell you all about sharks, jellyfish, and less known animals like the bristle worms and snails.

There will be several activities; you can try our quizzes, test out our new board game, be a jellyfish doctor, learn more about bipolar animals living on the North- and South poles!

We’re happy to run the activities in both Norwegian and English (and can between us cover about 8 other languages too 😊). Hope to see you there!
