Stormen Library & Bodø Harbour
Stormen
A modern library and concert hall by the sea, with floor-to-ceiling windows facing the harbor and mountains. It was the core venue for Bodø's 2024 European Capital of Culture year.
Stormen is a cultural complex completed in 2014, which includes a library and a concert hall. It was designed by the British firm DRDH Architects. The library is free to enter, and its upper reading area has large glass windows overlooking the harbor, fishing boats and Landegode Island in the distance, making it the most comfortable refuge in town. The harbor promenade in front connects the ferry terminal, marina and restaurants. In summer evenings, you can watch the midnight sun from here. Bodø was named European Capital of Culture in 2024, and many events were held here.
