The museum, run by the non-profit Nerdrum Museum Association, makes Nerdrum's works accessible to the public and shares knowledge about his life and career. None of the original works, including paintings, sketches, drawings, and graphics, are for sale; they are preserved as part of Norway's cultural heritage.

Events – The museum holds concerts, conferences, and lectures on relevant topics. Learn about the history of painting, with a special focus on classical figurative art. Stay updated via the website and Facebook page.

Pipehouse History – Visit the museum, part of Sjøparken Stavern. The Pipehouse in the historic Agnes Fabrikker was the heart of Nittedals Tændstikfabrikk from 1877 to 1984. The building has been transformed into an exhibition space that honors the power and aesthetics of this important part of Norwegian industrial history.

Guided Tours – Book a guided tour year-round, both during and outside opening hours. A guided tour starts at NOK 2500, with an additional entrance fee. Discounts are available for groups over 10 people.

Tours last about 45-50 minutes and accommodate up to 20 participants per group. For larger groups, it is recommended to split into two, with one group enjoying a snack or coffee at café Havfuglen while the other tours the museum.
