The Hedmark Museum and Cathedral are situated in beautiful surroundings by the Mjøsa Lake. There is a medieval site called the Hamar Dome where the ruins of the old Cathedral are kept under glass. During the 19th century the Storhamarbarn was erected over the ruins of the episcopal mansion, which dates back to 1250. The building today is an interesting museum created by Norwegian architect Sverre Fehn. There are displays of artefacts from the Viking Age, the Iron Age and the Middle Ages up to the 19th century. There is also a herbal garden with 350 different organically-grown species.
The Hedmark Museum is the Proprietor of the Kirsten Flagstad Museum.
