Fredrikstad Museum is a history museum with a rich story that stretches from 1567 to the present day. The museum houses unique exhibitions, including "Østfold at War 1939-45" and "Operation Polar Bear", which provide insight into important historical events. In addition to permanent exhibitions, the museum offers interactive experiences for children, such as "The Time Machine" and "Agent Askeladden", which allow younger visitors to learn about history in an engaging way.
The Tøihuset, which was opened in 1775, is part of the museum's collection and was Norway's largest building at the time of its opening. The museum has a national social responsibility and works to communicate the city's history to both locals and visitors. In addition, visitors can enjoy a visit to the history bar "Bar 1567", which provides a unique atmosphere and an opportunity to reflect on the past.
