'''Eidsvoll 1814''' is a division of the [[Norwegian Museum of Cultural History]] that manages [[Eidsvollsbygningen|Eidsvoll Manor House]] and the Wergeland House, a public center. The Wergeland House was opened in 2005 and contains a cafe and exhibits, as well as an administrative office. Eidsvoll 1814 was set up as an independent foundation by the [[Storting]] in 1998,<ref name="SNL">{{cite web|title=Eidsvoll 1814|url=https://snl.no/Eidsvoll_1814|website=Store norske leksikon|accessdate=October 8, 2017}}</ref> but on January 1, 2010 it was merged with the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History as a result of the national museum reform. One of the reasons for the merger was that both the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History and Eidsvoll 1814 had significant shared interests in the [[2014 Norwegian Constitution Bicentennial]]. Following the merger, Eidsvoll 1814 is a now division of the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History, but Eidsvoll 1814 is still presented with a separate profile.<ref>{{cite web|title=Eidsvoll 1814|url=https://eidsvoll1814.no/?aid=9064094|accessdate=October 8, 2017}}</ref>
'''Eidsvoll 1814''' has a national mandate to preserve and convey the history of the creation of the [[Constitution of Norway]] in 1814. The museum has approximately 80000 visitors in total per year.
