THE STORIES FROM ODDERØYA

The exhibition at Østre Batteri

The exhibition shows part of the equipment that was used by Odderøya fort during the Cold War.

Much of the equipment is physically used at the fort, some we got from Oscarsborg Fortress Museum and some was bought. The handgun collection is on loan from the Vest Agder Museum.

The exhibition was opened in 2013.

It is open to the public in connection with guided tours (option 3), Odderøyadagen (1st Sunday in June) or on request.
