About this audio guide
This guide to Muséhagen, the botanical garden in the heart of Bergen, turns on a windy weekend in August 2017, when the University Museum next door stood wrapped in scaffolding and tarpaulin. It follows the night guards, a building alarm, and a haul of Viking brooches and rings from the museum's storerooms. Best heard standing among the flowerbeds, with the museum buildings in view.
