Frommer's Review
An old penitentiary from 1725 was turned into this Norwegian maritime showcase that offers all the models of sailing ships, marine instruments, and figureheads any sea dog would want. Some unusual exhibitions include an 18th-century whaling ship and a harpoon gun. Nautical artifacts rescued from the frigate The Pearl, which sank off Norwegian waters in 1781, are on display. Daring divers rescued these artifacts in Titanic-cold waters.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
