The Mission Museum, a historical collection since 1864
The Norwegian Mission Society established the Mission Museum when the School of Mission and Theology (at the time "Missionsskolen") got its current campus at the so-called "Mission field" in Stavanger in 1864.
The Mission Museum has a collection of more than five thousand artifacts from Norway and the various countries in which the Norwegian Mission Society has had missionary work since 1842. Parts of the collection are on display at the School of Mission and Theology.
In 2011 the Board of directors of the School of Mission and Theology decided to transfer the collection to the Mission Archives. As a consequence the collection will be catalogued in the database of the Mission Archives, including the records documenting the collection.
