Modum kommune
The administrative center of Modum is Vikersund.
The blue background of the shield acknowledges the Blaafarveværket,
a cobalt mining and manufacturing company founded in 1776 in Åmot. It
operated until the mid 19th century, although mining continued until 1898.
The site is now maintained as a museum and houses a world class art gallery.
The three rivers in Modum: Drammenselva, Snarumselva, and Simoa are depicted
on the shield as well.
One of the longest ski jumps in the world can
be found in Modum. Seven ski jumping records have been set on
Vikersundbakken.
