It was initially created by the two friends and well known ski jumpers, Birger Ruud and Petter Hugsted. The museum focuses on the golden age of ski jumping in Norway, from 1924 to 1952, when jumpers from Kongsberg dominated ski jumping on the national as well as international level.
The museum is located in central Kongsberg, together with the Norwegian Mining Museum (Norsk Bergverksmuseum).
