Espeland Prison Camp is a museum located in Bergen, which focuses on the history of Espeland Prison Camp and its role during the Second World War. The museum is run by Stiftelsen Lenken and offers a range of services, including teaching and events that deal with themes related to war history and human rights.

In addition to exhibitions about the prison camp, Espeland Prison also houses the Gestapo House, which provides insight into the activities of the German police in Norway during the occupation. The museum collaborates with several friends' associations, such as the Gestapo Museum's Association and the Espeland Prison Camp Friends' Association, to promote awareness of this part of Norwegian history. Espeland Fangeleirer also has an archive that can be used for research and communication, and the museum has been awarded the Communication Award 2026 for its work in communicating history in an engaging way.
