In this exhibition you will get to meet Bishop Johan Ernst Gunnerus, the founder and driving force behind the society that would one day become the University Museum. DKNVS was founded in an exciting era, where the worldview shifted from the church-dominated medieval period to the Age of Enlightenment and scientific revolution. 

Explore the University Museum's long history and learn how what started as three volumes of Danish-Norwegian history became a collection counting thousands of objects.
