Narvik Museum

I found this museum interesting, I liked the comparative photograph exhibition on the first floor showing the changing city. I really liked the videos running in the 'cinema' room. I loved the old building and the 'throwback to yesterday' feel of the place. I don't think it would hold a child's attention for long though. Free self service coffee and tea are a nice touch.

A small, simple museum. Okay for a visit if you've nothing else to do. It could do with more love and a big update. Most of the descriptions were only in Norwegian. Not worth the €11 entrance fee. The building sits on a hill, and you get a good view of the harbor from the grounds. We found the War Museum much more interesting.

Great small museum. Located close to cruise dock. Mixture of maritime and trains. Free hot drinks. Able to walk through vintage electric train.

5-star mini-museum, definitely worth a visit! It's beautifully done, with a lot of attention to details and great explanations/films (all in English and partly in German too!). We spent about half an hour in the cozy coffee corner afterwards, that alone was worth the entrance fee! Highly recommend!

This museum really needs some love... The house is nice, but the exhibits are old (like, I'm sure it's possible to do better than a 1995 3D reconstruction of the city with tons of video artifacts), and a little bit incoherently displayed. This reminded us of some museums in third world countries, but then the entry price would probably be a tenth of the price without a rich government backing. We still enjoyed it though, and the glogg was welcome.

I loved this museum - the smaller of two in the centre of Narvik. It tells the story of the Ofoten railway that carries iron ore from Kiruna in Sweden to the ice free port of Narvik for export around the world. There is a simulated carriage where you can watch a film - imagining travelling in the train. There is also a changing exhibition which marked the building of the railway from St Petersburg to Murmansk across the Kola peninsula. There is a cafe area downstairs where you can help yourself to drinks and toilets. There were steps to enter and stairs to get upstairs. It is probably best to check it is open before you go - but it seems to usually open at 10am

Beautiful situated museum on a hill. The museum covers mostly the industrial history of Narvik. A must see for train fanatics.

Nice place with a lot of media. We liked several things, but I let you discover it.
