HVALFANGSTMUSEET

Museums

This museum, unique in Europe, presents all the animals living in the Arctic. One can admire specimens of whales from Antarctica and the Arctic, including a life-size model of a very impressive blue whale. It also shows the techniques used for whaling, from the rudimentary weapons of the Sami to the formidable guns of modern times. In addition, the museum has several boats, including the Southern Actor, a whaler from the 1950s, and a copy of the drakkar "Gaia", which still sails every day.
