The North Cape Museum is a local heritage museum which presents the local history from the Stone Age to modern times. The permanent exhibition goes over two floors and focuses on the development of the local society in an international context. The various themes in our permanent exhibition touches upon several topics, such as the destruction of Honningsvåg and Finnmark during WW II and the reconstruction of the town during the late 40's and the early 50's.

This small museum (2 floors) is devoted to the history of the town of Honningsvåg (and North Cape area) where it is located, including the fishing industry and the World War II German occupation. Almost all of the photos and exhibits have an English description - be sure to open the drawers under some of the exhibits to read the pull-out descriptions. The ground floor is devoted to the early history of the town and area, with a heart-rending section devoted to the German occupation during WWII which ended with a burned earth policy as they withdrew in the face of Russian advance. Like other towns in the area all the occupants were forcibly evacuated and the town completely destroyed. The rebuilding in 1947 is also documented. Upstairs most of the display is devoted to the fishing industry with a small section also on the recent oil and gas extraction in the Barents Sea area. Here you will also find a room where you can view several short, subtitled films about the area. One particularly poignant one is the first hand account of the destruction of the town by the Germans by a survivor who was a boy at the time. He and some of his family fled into the hills rather than evacuate, and you can hear his story. At 50kr the museum is reasonably priced and most definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Europe’s moist northerly town.

The municipality’s oldest building, constructed in 1885. After WWII it was home for the population while the remaining buildings were reconstructed.

This church seems to be the only one in Honningsvag and has a cemetry attached as do many small town churches.

I was so intrigued by the statue, I bought the book Sea Dog Bamse—World War II Canine Hero available in the Honningsvag museum, which also deserves a visit.
