Blaafarveværket - Cobalt Works

Blaafarveværket's history starts in 1772 when cobalt was found in Modum, Buskerud. Until 1898, cobalt ore was extracted from the cobalt mines here. The ore was processed into cobalt blue pigment which was sold from the Blaafarveværket in Modum and out to all corners of the world. Today, the Blaafarveværket is one of Norway's most visited tourist attractions and here on the YouTube channel we share clips from small and large events in our everyday life at the museum.
