The site is part of a larger cultural<br />
heritage site at Avaldsnes on<br />
Karmøy on the West coast of<br />
Norway, with the 13th century<br />
Olav church as the main focus,<br />
in addition to several burial<br />
mounds. The centre houses<br />
an experience exhibition that<br />
communicates the particular<br />
place this location holds in<br />
the history of Norway, and<br />
it documents the ongoing<br />
archaeological excavations in<br />
the area, both on land and in the<br />
sea. To retain the significance<br />
of the old church on the site, the<br />
new centre has been set into the<br />
ground. Access is via a common<br />
approach and a path leading<br />
down to the grass-laid roof deck.<br />
