Amazing and interesting exhibition about the life and times of early Norwegian life.
The main item in the Museum is a fishing boat which takes center stage.
Well worth a visit via the local bus network, short walk from bus stop
A must visit Museum for those who want to learn history of Northen Norway, Querini and his trade of Torskefik. Got lot info on how it used to be before and how torskefisk got famour all over the world..!!
I went there from a study tour group from University.
They have a Cafe also where you can try Northen Norway's typical Dish..!!
Interesting and nicely maintained museum about the fishing history of the coast of Norway and the special wooden ships used in the past. The museum is located in picturesque area and inspires to discover the area even more. Friendly, very welcoming staff. Interesting stories. Small souvenir shop and a restaurant.
Fascinating museum about the lives of country Norwegians over the centuries. Very illuminating. Good English translations to most info. Boat displayed in a very imposing way
Amazing view of the ocean and mountains from the huge glass windows. The coffee is good and included as many refills as you wanted. The cinnamon buns were delicious, altough the largest ones were more than twice as large as the smaller ones, but they cost the same: e.g the size of the bun is incosistent.
The sourdough waffle with ice cream and berries is also really good. Be aware that this is not a sweet waffle, but the berries and ice cream is sweet (and really good).
They also serve more dinnerlike dishes, and they serve the LOCAL SPECIALITY "møsbrømlefse" which is a must try.
My only gripe with the museum is that the entrance tickets for the boatmuseum is too expensive, and as such I have not seen it. The café however is free to enter and worth it to go to on its own for the nice view of the ocean, especially during winter.
The café is spaceous, but the interior is appears a bit cold (don't worry it is heated, but it looks cold) with all the naked concrete floors.
Very interesting museum about the beginning of norwegian fishing industry with an original jekte ship from that time and a cosey cafe in beautiful nature at the bodøsjø.
Atmospheric! Fascinating history of trade along the Norwegian coast. Opened recently (2019). Centrepiece is the only remaining Jekt boat - impressive. All information in English and Norwegian. Friendly staff. If you are at the airport with a few hours to kill it is a 5 minute taxi trip.
Gives a very good history of early Norwegian trade and the development of the vessels that were essential to it. The presentation of the 'Anna Karoline' with realistic sights, smells and sounds is excellent. Plenty of English descriptions and some interesting interactive experiences. Overall some of their exhibition is probably still being developed. We found it a valuable addition to our Norwegian experience.
