Gallery Lofoten has Norway’s largest collection of paintings from Northern Norway dating back to the turn of the last century – a period by many called the golden age of North Norwegian painting. On the gallery’s ground floor you find a collection of paintings by renowned artists like Otto Sinding, Gunnar Berg, Even Ulving, Adelsteen Normann, Einar Berger, Ole Juul, Thorolf Holmboe and others. The gallery’s first floor is divided into two sections – one exhibiting watercolours by Lars Lerin and one exhibiting pictures and ceramic works by Her Majesty Queen Sonja. In the gallery shop you find a selection of art books, postcards, and posters by the exhibition’s artists. In our café you may enjoy a glass of wine and a cheese platter from the local cheese producer Aalan Farm.

Sea Eagle safari from Henningsvaer. Visit these majestic birds on the rugged coastline of Lofoten. In a giant rubber dinghy - a mere meter above the sea's surface - you can experience nature in a brand new way. Nordland is land of the sea eagles. Here you will find the world’s most compact stock of these majestic birds of prey that can have a wing span of up to two metres. We operate daily sea eagle safaris off the coast of Henningsvaer, allowing you to experience the sea eagles at close quarters in their natural environment. We search for other species of bird life e.g Puffins and Comorants. If we are lucky we could even see seals and other sea mammal life.
