The '''Hanseatic Museum and Schøtstuene''' is a museum in the city of [[Bergen]], [[Norway]]. The main part of the museum is located in one of the conserved wooden buildings on [[Bryggen]] in [[Bergen, Norway|Bergen]], [[Norway]], and covers the [[Hanseatic]] times. This building was put up after a fire in 1702 when most of the city centre of Bergen burned down. The museum was started in a building owned the merchant J.W. Olsen in 1872. As the collection increased, another building, "Murtasken", was constructed from a drawing by the architect V.D. Lippes. There is an authentic [[trading room]] in the museum including a merchant's office, sleeping places for the boys and a guestroom.
