Primeval forest Silva
Loss of biodiversity is a major threat to life on Earth. Almost 50 percent of threatened species in Norway live in ancient or near-primeval forests. How can we take better care of the biodiversity in our forests?
Primeval forest Silva is an interactive workshop where we invite children into a world where they can explore art and nature and also help to save a primeval forest. In the permanent collection exhibition, all the family can find out how forests have influenced the work of artists throughout history. We recommend spending some time in the permanent collection before or after your visit to Silva.
Silva is open on Saturdays outside of holidays, at 12.00–13.30 and 14.30–16.00.
Silva is suitable for everyone aged three and above.
Silva has limited capacity, and follows the principle of first come, first served. All participants must have a valid entry ticket to the National Museum, and a Silva-stamp which you get at the information desk.
Meeting point behind the vestibule, by the entrance to room 1 of the collection exhibition.
