Aalesunds Museum offers a fascinating glimpse into Ålesund’s rich history, from the devastating 1904 fire to the city’s unique Art Nouveau rebirth. The exhibits are well-organized, with engaging photos, models, and artifacts that bring the maritime and cultural heritage to life. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and the building itself is a piece of history. A small but captivating museum that perfectly captures Ålesund’s spirit.

In the last half of 1904 four Norwegians sailed from Ålesund to Boston in Uræd, the world's first covered lifeboat. Of the 22 egg-shaped Uræd-class vessels produced the sole survivor is currently on display outside the Aalesunds Museum.

Great museum. If you are interested in history of Alesund, this is the place to go. Very informative and interesting.
My favorite museum of our trip to Norway. If traveling as a family, there is a map with stickers where you have to place the items in the correct rooms, so the whole family is engaged.
It looks small on the outside, but the place is crammed with information and items, such as an original telephone from Alexander Graham Bell which was used to make the first phone call in Europe. Highly recommended.
