Magic in the attic – a sensory journey of discovery for children. At the top of Sjøholmen Kulturhus, right off the E18 by Sandvika, is a very special place. Follow the old servants’ stairs upstairs – and step into a fairy tale: the magical “Loft of the Senses”!
Over a hundred years ago, the children of the Mustad family played up here. They had homeschooling in the tower room with a strict teacher, and they sneaked past a grumpy uncle who lived in one of the rooms. Today, the attic has been transformed into a living fantasy universe!
The exhibition in the attic is called "The Journey of the Globe" and lets children be scientists and explorers. For the journey, you can scan a QR code and join the adventure – room by room. At the entrance, all children receive a treasure map and a "sensory bag". Find hidden treasures, solve puzzles in each room and get a small prize!
Every Sunday between 12:00 and 13:00, the Pacifier Princess visits the tower room. Children can give her a pacifier, and as a thank you, they receive a great diploma for courage and magic.
After the exhibition, the children are invited to a creative workshop. Here, the children can frolic with activities related to both the exhibition itself and our popular seasonal tasks.
On the first floor you will find our cozy café and Galleri Sjøholmen, and outside you will find a climbing park and beautiful hiking opportunities along the coastal path. It is also popular to celebrate birthdays at Sanseloftet.
Welcome to Sjøholmen Kulturhus – a place for play, art and magical moments for the whole family!
