Facilities
From 1773 to 1893, Blaafarveværket and Koboltgruvene were the workplace of thousands of people who had one task: to supply the world with the most beautiful blue colour. They did this so well that the mines here accounted for 80 per cent of the world's entire cobalt production. You can experience this history here at the museum - deep down in the well-preserved cobalt mines and buildings.
Through guided tours, cultural trails, art exhibitions, exciting shops and cosy eateries - in green, scenic surroundings - you can have an unforgettable encounter with this chapter in Norwegian industrial history.
