We looked all over for this museum asked in the nearby shops, and still couldn’t find it. Our conclusion was that it was closed, even though it was supposed to be open.

It sounds really interesting so wanted to visit. Found a sign saying it was open, so kept wandering around Bryggen looking for it - it's pretty hard to find which I suppose is realistic considering...

Loved the one-on-one discussion with the docent on staff that day. We sat across a coffee table from the docent as she explained the Bergen student resistance, what they did, and how they fared.

A small room upstairs that used to function as the headquarters theta-group resistance cell during the second World War. They have tried to recreate the room as much as possible. Many of the decorations and props are donated. Only one item is original. Some of the items were too new and were therefore out of place. The guide telling the story shared a lot of details on how the group started, what they did, what their influence was on events in history, and how they disbanded and ended. I learned a lot today!
