In the exhibition PAPPA you can hear stories from some of the children who were affected by the Alexander L. Kielland accident in the North Sea. The exhibition marks the end of a documentation project that has been carried out at the Norwegian Petroleum Museum over a three-year period. The mandate for the project has been to collect documentation and knowledge about the Alexander L. Kielland accident. The project also aims to ensure that the relatives, survivors, and other affected people feel acknowledged and listened to.

The temporary exhibition presents a theme that has been less highlighted in what has been written and communicated about the accident previously. It is estimated that between 300 and 400 children were affected. Many children lost their fathers, and some got their fathers back home – but saw how he changed after what had happened.
