Bergen - Hanseatic Museum

Of the old merchants' houses only the one at the south end of Bryggen, the early 18th century Finnegård, has been preserved in its original condition. Since 1872 it has housed the Hanseatic Museum, which gives an excellent impression of the interior of a Hanseatic merchant's establishment, with displays of weapons, domestic furnishings and equipment, mostly dating from the last days of the counting-house. The ground floor was used for the storage of goods; on the first floor were the merchant's office, dining room and bedroom, and on the second the sleeping quarters of the apprentices and clerks.
