Northern Norway Art Museum
Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum
A free art museum by the harbor, with works of Northern Norwegian landscape painting, contemporary Sámi art and crafts, and art shaped by the Arctic light.
The Northern Norway Art Museum is housed in a classical early-20th-century building by the harbor, which was once a bank and post office. Its collection focuses on Northern Norwegian art from the 19th century to the present, including landscape paintings of the Northern Lights, fjords and fishing villages, as well as contemporary works by Sámi artists and traditional crafts. The permanent exhibition is free, and the temporary shows often offer pleasant surprises. The museum is closed on Mondays and is generally open from about 10:00 to 17:00. Polaria and the main street are only a few minutes’ walk away, making it a good indoor choice on rainy or snowy days.
Opening hours
