North Troms Museum AS
About This Museum
Up here in Storslett, the North Troms Museum isn't just a building; it's the keeper of our local soul. It feels less like an institution and more like a gathering of stories from the fjords, the fishing boats, and the hardy families who've called this dramatic landscape home for generations. You won't find dusty, silent halls here. Instead, you'll discover the real, textured history of coastal life in Northern Norway, told through the very objects our grandparents used. It’s a place that truly captures the spirit of this unique corner of the world.
Collection Highlights
One of my favorite spots is the old general store, stocked just as it was in the 1920s—you can almost hear the clink of coins and the chatter over coffee. Then there's the collection of traditional 'Nordlandsbåter' fishing boats, their weathered hulls telling tales of treacherous seas and rich catches. Don't miss the Sami artifacts either; they speak volumes about the deep-rooted indigenous culture that has shaped this region.
Visitor Information
Pop in and take your time wandering; it's the kind of place best explored at your own pace. The folks at the front desk are always happy to share a story or two you won't find on any plaque. If you're lucky, you might even catch a craft demonstration or a local history talk.
Architecture & Building
The main building has that classic, welcoming Norwegian feel—wooden and unpretentious, it fits right into its surroundings as if it's always been there.
