The museum's correct name is "The University Museum of Bergen". It is a university museum in Bergen, Norway. Founded in 1825 under the name of "Bergens Museum" with the intent of building large collections in the fields of culture and natural history, it became the grounds for most of the academic activity in the city, a tradition which has prevailed since the museum became part of the University of Bergen. The University Museum of Bergen is divided into two departments, the Natural History Collections and the Cultural History Collections and Public Outreach and exhibitions.
