Breheimsenteret is an authorized visitor center for Jostedalsbreen National Park and Breheimen National Park. These two national parks have 9 of the largest glaciers in Norway, including Jostedalsbreen which is the largest at 474 km2.
The exhibition shows in an interesting, informative and interactive way how the glaciers and the climate have changed throughout history, the glacial landscape, what it is like to live by the glaciers and how to utilize the resources around the glaciers. The exhibition shows some of the most varied nature we have in Norway, from the lush deep valleys to barren high mountains and glaciers.
As part of the exhibition, there is also a slide film in its own cinema which takes you on a journey under, on and around the mighty glaciers through the different seasons.

The foundation's activities include the fields of natural sciences and cultural history. The glacier museum shows the interaction in nature and between nature and man - through advanced film technology, interactive models and your own experiments with real glacier ice.
