One of many WWII museums in Norway, like always with a local touch; here about the battle over Narvik, massively destroyed. A must for anyone interested in our recent history as it relates to occupation of other countries.

Learning more about Norway’s history completely changed my road trip experience through the country. The museum clearly shows Norway’s position during one of the most significant wars in human history. Understanding the past, the battles, and the losses also makes us reflect on the present, the future, and the value of life. If you get the chance, it’s definitely worth setting aside a few hours to dive deeper into this part of Norwegian history. The museum is very complete, with artifacts from the time such as letters, radios, clothing, photos, audio recordings, weapons, and even vehicles. It was an intense and transformative visit that I truly recommend!

We had the most wonderful experience in this poorly advertised Museum. We were lucky enough to have a private after-hours tour with the very knowledgeable Alf. We had no idea that we would be so thoroughly engrossed for about 1 ½ hours. The original items housed here are incredible - weapons, uniforms, battle and invasion information and pieces from daily lives. These are things we had only ever seen in movies. Really nice presentation and a really thoughtful, well-curated Museum. We couldn’t believe how small and inadequate the signage is- this is an amazing Museum and deserves more notice.

While the museum was not that large, it was a informative and enjoyable visit.

Excellent museum. Superbly laid out with engaging exhibits and an extraordinary number of local artifacts from WWII. (Even though I'm not a militaria buff, it really captured my interest. It really brings to life the background to Narvik's WWII story by explaining the military campaigns and the impact on the local people). Recommended.

This is a Museum with a story telling the World War II from Norways perspective. Incredible artefacts from the war, including replicas, regenerated voice of war victims, shows and exhibitions. It's best experienced with reading through the captions and listening to the voiceovers on the 'Euseum' app. A third floor has a more general view on wars and the perspectives on killing other human beings. Must visit!

Best war Museum in Norway. Really gives you great overview of the Battle of Narvik and then explores life during the war in more detail. It gives you a good sense of how and why people on all sides of the war acted and continually poses the question of how would you react under the same circumstances. It gives many personal histories and also shows many of the causes of war and what are the signs and signals leading up to war in modern day. Well worth a visit.

A fabulous war museum, and so much info. About £10 a head to enter and well worth it.

We had amazing off-piste day with Oscar. Perfect and untouched powders off the piste with interesting forest runs. The unique night ski with headlights is super fun! Highly recommended.

The location of this ski resort is amazing. I loved spending a day here, however it was very disappointing to learn on arrival that there was a skiing competition that was blocking 3 of the 5 available slopes. They eventually opened them gradually. Also, keep in mind there are 2 lifts closed for the season (see attached photo). I don't think this is very clean on their website.

Ski in the view of the sea, snowy mountains and the star, even if you are lucky, the northern light. Stunning runs.
Kalie秀妍 Y — Google review
The gondolas up to the top gives a beautiful view of Narvik and the sea. Each gondola has 10 seat. 👍🚡 The restaurant at the top only serves simple foods and drinks. 👎 Out of 3 automates for buying parking and gondola tour only 1 worked! 🅿️👎
Steen J — Google review
Rental equipment is very low quality and very expensive for that also. Additionally, the person at the rental was extremely rude of us. He did not understand our English and since he did not understand, he made fun of us. If you can't talk English properly, it's you I should make fun of. Sorry, we definitely won't take a vacation here again. Great job.
Youkichirou M — Google review
Enjoyed the 10 seater gondola ride, took under 5 minutes. No big queues and still enough space with skis and snowboards. People are friendly and staff are amazing to get you sorted for your rental gear. Day pass and rental is all fairly priced. The view from the top is amazing!

The best ski resort in the world. Feels like skiing towards the big fjord and city underneath. Truly fantastic and magical. Thank you for amazing service and smiling people working there, and I'll keep coming back for this.

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!

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

It's a typical gothic church, very simple but with all comforts, the bench have a warmer under It, never saw something like it. The organ above the entrance is magnificent for a small church like this. The best part in my opinion is the outside with this beauitiful tower that you can see from far.

(Translated by Google) I'm from Poland, I went there to the War Museum because in one building we have: the above-mentioned museum, a tourist information point with a shop, the Punktum cafe (I recommend it!) and a library. Unfortunately, I don't speak Norwegian, but I love books and libraries. That's why I ventured among the shelves. The book collection and other collections are very rich and everything is in order. I envy the inhabitants of Narvik such a place. I was very happy because I found "The Witcher" by Sapkowski on the shelf. Not only am I from Poland, but I am also from Łódź, where I live. Your heart grows. Thanks are also due to the Nice Girl, an employee of the museum/library, who not only told us where to go to see something interesting, but also drew it all nicely and legibly on the map. Thank you! (Original) Jestem z Polski, wybrałem się tam do Muzeum Wojny bo w jednym budynku mamy: wspomniane muzeum, punkt informacji turystycznej wraz ze sklepikiem, kawiarnie Punktum (polecam!) oraz bibliotekę. Nie znam niestety norweskiego, ale kocham książki oraz biblioteki. Dlatego zapuściłem się między regały. Księgozbiór oraz inne zbiory są bardzo bogate, wszędzie panuje porządek. Zazdroszczę mieszkańcom Narwiku takiego miejsca. Bardzo się ucieszyłem bo znalazłem na półce „Wiedźmina” Sapkowskiego. Nie dość, że z Polski to jeszcze z Łodzi, w której mieszkam. Serce roście. Podziękowania należą się również dla Sympatycznej Dziewczyny, pracownicy muzeum/biblioteki która nie dość, że powiedziała nam gdzie iść zobaczyć coś ciekawego to jeszcze ładnie i czytelnie narysowała to wszystko na mapce. Dziękuję!

(Translated by Google) This museum tells a story about the North Norwegian people's belief in themselves and their values. To get the most out of your visit, you should visit the place several times.
