3. Narvik Krigsmuseum
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 355 reviews
The museum has a large collection from WWII. The museum tells the stories of WWII in North Norway and the dramatic fight for Narvik i 1940. The museum has a section devoted to universal questions related to war and human rights. The quality and design of the exhibition is exquisite and must be experienced!

In this museum you find out the significance of Narvik and northern Norway in the second world war. It's less technical war museum and brings more the humanity aspect to it. It's actually more about the futility and waste of human lives that comes with wars.

The Knut Hamsun Centre is located by the vicarage ruins on the banks of the Glimma River in Presteid in Hamarøy Municipality in Northern Norway. The centre is situated in a beautiful cultural landscape surrounded by nature that remains virtually as untouched as it was in Hamsun’s time. The centre’s tower offers an impressive view over the realm of Hamsun, the area that inspired the author to write world renowned books like Pan, Growth of the Soil and Wayfarers.

You must go there to see for yourself. This is a library with a view over the harbour in Bodø, a town in North Norway with over 50 000 inhabitants. I don`t think noone have such a wonderful prospect. It`s pieacfully to sit and read a newspaper og just relex. It`s lots of space. There is also a cafè in the building. And maybe you are lucky to see small exhibitions like paintings made of young pupils, or art made of older students. Sometimes there is readings for kids, sometimes dancing and plays. The building where the library are, is only 5 years old. Last time I visited the library, was at "Kulturnatt 2019", where I watch many ballettdancers showing several dancers from their upcoming christmasshow "Nøtteknekkeren". Nice :)
