Porsgrunn have many exciting attractions and experiences. Visit Porsgrunn's most insulted and admired church, check out the interactive porcelain museum, visit art exhibitions and galleries, experience a historic garden, enjoy the theater festival and see the statue of the King of Thailand.

At the factory outlet at Porsgrunds Porselænsfabrik, you can still see the craftsmen hand painting the famous straw pattern. Next door is the Porcelain Museum, which shows the factory's over 130 years of history and production. Østre Porsgrunn church, also called “The Porcelain church”, is well worth a visit. The church was completed in 2019 and is both loved and hated. Tollboden Porcelain collection shows several thousand porcelain objects from 1887 until 2000.

In a spectacular building by the riverside lies DuVerden Maritime Museum + science center. Kids just love this place. Here you can let the children get to know and test the mathematics and the rules and magic of the laws of nature. An excellent apprenticeship for "children" of all ages, while having fun.

The city's galleries located in Osebrostrøket, the city's oldest residential area. If you are looking for contemporary art, then take a trip to Kunsthall Grenland. Gallery Osebro conveys graphics, sculpture, pottery and glass art and is open all year.

A short drive from the city center you will reach cozy Brevik. The beautiful archipelago offers idyllic sandy beaches and warm boulders. Join one of the ferries on a day trip or overnight trip to the cozy little islands. Brevik with its narrow and charming streets, has an exciting history. On Sylterøya in Brevik you can see one of the country's best preserved wooden buildings. Before leaving Brevik, you must see the statue of the king of Thailand, Kong Chulalongkorn, King of Siam from 1868-1910. He visited Brevik and Telemark in 1907 and became very enthusiastic about Brevik.
