Torpedoverkstedet (Jærmuseet)

Über

Torpedoverkstedet is located right next to the aviation museum. Here, you can experience the new exhibition “Stories from World War 2”.

In this exhibition you can learn about the Second World War through the eyes of different people connected to the local aera. Their stories reach out to the wider world. Amongst others, you can hear about the female resistance worker, the teenager, the wartime sailor, the British soldier and the Russian prisoner of war. The exhibition reminds us that Rogaland and Norway have experienced war and conflict in recent times. The major battles took place outside of Norway, but all those who lived here under the occupation were marked by it for lifetime. There were also many who never came to experience peace.

The exhibition opened in 2020. Audioguides are available.
