Nordland Museum
Nordlandsmuseet
A regional museum housed in one of Bodø's oldest buildings, telling the stories of fishing, Sámi culture and wartime bombing.
The Nordland Museum is housed in an old bank building from 1903, one of the few buildings to survive the bombing of 1940. Its exhibitions cover the lives of northern Norway's coastal fishermen, the Lofoten fishing season, Sámi culture, the Viking-era silver treasures, and the history of Bodø's wartime bombing and postwar reconstruction. The museum is small, and a visit takes about an hour. Admission costs about NOK 100. It also manages several branches, including the Kjerringøy Trading Post.
