Noah’s ark
At port in Stavanger at the moment is a replica of Noah’s ark. Or what they imagine they would have looked like. Except from the barges they use to stabilize it.
Entrance to the ark
Inside there is a museum that aims to show what you can find in the bible. I did not go inside as the price to go in was a bit high and the target group for this floating museum is kids. But it was interesting to have a look at it from the outside.
LED-lights might be a bit safer than torches

Interesting. Is this a moving museum? Does it actually sail to other locations?
It is a moving museum, yes. It has been to other locations. It can’t sail on it’s own but it gets pulled by another boat.
Wow! Interesting concept.
I think so too!
What a fascinating idea to try to bring history to life. Sounds like fun.
Yes, those I’ve talked too said it was a great experience!
Its good to know that if Stavanger gets flooded you and the other inhabitants can take refuge in the ark! Seriously, its an interesting concept. Kevin
Haha, good one. I hope it won’t come to that. It looks a bit too small and unstable. I do agree that it is an interesting concept!
I hope it doesn’t come to that either as given it’s small size, together with all the animals on board it will get very crowded! Hope your weekend is a good one. Kevin
My weekend is a good one and I hope yours is as well! It would get stuffy and smelly fast with the animals…
I am used to it getting stuffy and smelly on London underground on a hot summer’s day, with all those people packed into a tube carriage where the air conditioning has failed! Mine is a good weekend, thanks. Its sunny but a little chilly so perfect Autumn weather. Kevin
Same weather here except we had a few light showers.
I love showers as they bring out all those gorgeous scents from the earth. Its amazing walking through the woods after a shower of rain.
You are so very right. And the rain brings out a different scent unique for every season!
Indeed it does. All the best. Kevin
If it is expensive how do the childre afford it?
It’s cheaper for the children. And for the grandparents. And it’s not extremely expensive, but more than I was willing to pay to see a museum for children.
How fascinating! I have never heard of this. Thanks for sharing.
It is something quite unusual!
Wow, interesting. It reminds me the movie Evan almighty
Hehe I’ve heard about that movie, but never watched it.
Its a funny one, but also have a message.
