Untouched nature has been the main selling point of Norwegian tourism since the mid-19th century, so the main idea for the new Museum of Tourism was to use the natural rock as a main element of the museum architecture.

Located on a tight, narrow site in Balestrand town centre, the museum is cut into an outcrop of gneiss, retaining thick stone pillars that carry angled concrete beams to make up the main structure of the building. Channels have been cut and filled with insula¬tion to avoid cold-bridges. The new front wall is made with concrete sandwich elements.
